Mite be...: Pardon the pun, but i would worry about insect bites such as mites. Rashes are tough and need to be seen to diagnose many times.

Rashes: It depends on where they are located. Rashes tend to have specific distributions and can be identified by location and look. Often times they are simply caused by irritants from clothing, detergents or objects we are unaware of touching the skin. If none of these are likely, foods too can cause rashes if you have allergies. Consider the help of a dermatologist if your rash doesn't resolve.
