I keep getting these bites on my legs that are really red, painful, and full of puss. I have been getting them like 1 or 2 times a year, and in very different places, I got them in Texas, Missouri, and then in Italy. and they are always on my legs.

Sounds like could be chiggers. Chigger bites tend to leak puss and stay for a long time. They are very small and they burrow into ur skin and stay there. You can get rid of em by putting fingernail polish over the hole in the middle of the bite, just cover it real well. This cuts off the oxygen to it and kills it. Will go away much faster like that... Still may take several days though.

Could be bed bugs, chiggers, spiders, ants or some kind of poison. Reading that you got them in Missouri and Texas makes me think that it's fire ants, but I'm not sure if they're native to Italy or not. Check with a doctor to make sure it's not poisonous whatever it is. Good luck!

Might not be bites at all.
Could be wrong here, but if you spend a lot of time on your feet and, by chance have diabetes, it could be a sign of bad circulation in your legs. If you have red blotching, as well, that's another flag.
I know of someone who's legs started doing that and it turned out both diabetes and poor circulation. Doesn't have to be diabetes, though.
Try elevating your legs when at the computer and try not falling asleep there too many times a week. Might clear up.

Could be bed bugs. They can attach to your clothes and follow you wherever you are. See a doctor.
