What skin condition is this?

For several months now I have been suffering from constant itching in specific parts of my body. They are mosquito-bite-like welts that are found only on my scalp, buttocks, hips, inner thighs and knees. I scratch them until they bleed, but they never go away. We wash our bedsheets every week, so if it's a parasite, I'm not sure where it's coming from.My husband is not suffering this at all. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I tried looking up the symptoms on WebMD, but the closest one it sounds like is Scabies, and I'm not even sure about that.

    My first thought is scabies. But if it was, I'm pretty sure your husband would have it too since it's easily passed from skin to skin contact.

    Could you be allergic to something? Maybe have an allergy test done.
