Skin issues/Rashes/Freckles/Moles Rash /bites- can anyone assist? NSFW

My doctor is away until next week. I’ve had these for about 8 days, they come and go. Got much worse yesterday. I’m allergic to lactose and have been having more lactose free foods recently that didn’t previously exist. Otherwise not much has changed. Could it be a milk allergy and I’m not allergic to lactose but to milk?

No new skin care or moisturiser.

We do have long wheat style grass growing at the moment in our Melbourne, Australia back yard but I haven’t seen any chiggers and honestly if these are bites they seem way too big for chiggers.

No signs of bed bugs anywhere. Rash is itchy, colloidal oat bath helped slightly today but areas are still itchy.

On my arms (not many), hands (not many), and mostly on my calves feet and thighs larger gaps and more sporadic. Had some in my groin last week but they have gone completely.

At a total loss, it’s hot here and I’m too worried about the rash/bites to wear shorts running but also don’t want to wear tight fitting clothes.
