Rash and red mark over body

Question

Asked for Female, 14 Years

I have a rash-like area on my thumb, under my arm near my armpit, on both of my elbows, on my knee and I have the red marks that make up the “rash-like” areas all up and down my leg. The one under my arm near my armpit is circular and look worse then the patches on my knee and elbows. What could this possibly be ? At first it was just a big bump that itches (on my finger). I thought it was a bug bite but then the red bumps appeared and now I notice it all over my body.
