Thanks for posting the qwery.
As you have told that other members of your family are getting similar kind of skin lesions then it is a contagious skin disease like scabies.
More predominantly in scabies you will get lesions around navel area, finger web spaces etc and intense itching at night you will observe. Proper skin examination by a dermatologist is recommended. Treatment consists of applying proper scabicidal ointment along with anti allergic tablets with certain precautions.

Hope for speedy recovery.
