Folliculitis?

Trip keeps getting these welts on his arms, chest, and back.  The doctor on base first tried to tell me they were eczema (he saw them as they were healing and they were crusty). Upon my insistence that I knew what eczema looked like and this was not it, he claimed it was folliculitis.  Since when does folliculitis start out like a spider bite??

These welts first started showing up on him when we went to Greenville and he still has 5 scars from where the old spots were.  This morning I found a new one...I am not pleased.

It's not easy to take a picture of a squirmy baby's arm!  I wish i could have gotten a better shot so you could see the bumps all over the welt.  Tomorrow it will have a head on it (not like a pimple...more like a fire ant bite) and a few days later it will begin to get crusty.  I don't know what's causing these and it's beginning to drive me up a wall!  Any ideas oh wise internets?

On a side note, if you had a choice of living on a military base in England or one in Japan, which would you choose?  Yup!  It looks like those are the possibilities we have right now.
