Have Raised, Itchy Bumps On Torso, Panty Lines, Behind Knees. They Scab Up And Stop Itching. Are They Hives?

I have what I thought were hives. They are raised and are itchy. However, in a few days they seem to scab up and stop itching. I thought this was due to me itching them. at 1st i thought they could be pimple like but there is no kind of puss in them. I have them around my torso, along my panty lines, behind the knees and sometimes in front of legs.. There are 7 people in my family and it appears that only 3 of us are experiencing them. I am 46, my daughter who just turned 16 and my son who is 9. Thank you for your help. Carrie M
