Have you been scratching it and breaking skin? It could be several things if you have, from plain mosquitos to spiders.
 

Have you tried hydrocortisone? That can help if the bit left you wish histamines.

seems like some sort of anything that releases liquid maybe ?

Looks like spider bites.

Chiggers perhaps.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombiculidae

 

How to Treat Chigger Bites:

Take a hot shower the moment that you realize you have a chigger bite.

Use an antihistamine or topical hydrocortisone cream to relieve the itching.

Avoid scratching.

Also, if you are allergic, some ants release formic acid.

We have had oak mites here the last two years in Kansas City.  They are similar to that.  They're microscopic, and not much you can do to treat.  You are supposed to use hot water and soap as soon as you come inside from work or whatever.  I think they're worse in the Fall, though.  Last year, I had to make sure to wear long sleeve shirt and wash as soon as I came back in.

was it near the water or beach?   might be sand fleas or no-see-ums

You joined a tech forum to ask a medical question? 

 

Almost looks like bites I had when I was infested with bed bugs I picked up on a vacation (UGH).

I have never seen anything like that, kinda reminds me of spider bites but way bigger?

Could be bed bugs. I remember getting similar bites like that on my left shoulder and upper left arm (like opposite the armpit area) when I was at college back in spring/summer 2009. Thought at first it was some kind of rash but after doing a bit of searching, nope. Bed bug bites.  It went away after a few very hot showers.

Maybe it's Fly Bots where they lay their maggot eggs under the skin
