I know it's not fleas because we keep our house and rooms extremely clean, but thank you!

My guess is you have gotten flea bites. Probably from your bed or around the house somewhere. Not sure how to get rid of them though.

If the bumps are in patches, it sounds more like you have poison ivy. There are a number of topical lotions that help reduce itching from poison ivy.
If you do not have poison ivy, the types of insects depend on where you live. If you live in an area that has lots of water or sandy soil, the bites are likely to be from black flies (sometimes called no-see-ums).

Get some cortisone cream and put on them. That will help dry them up also help with the itching.
