Maybe you were bitten by a mosquito. In that case, it's likely that you would have an itchy red bump where the mosquito got you.
If you feel itching, swelling and red raised patches on several parts of your body like hives, then you may be having an allergic reaction to something else. The trouble is, it's impossible to tell from the information you provided.
Try waiting a few days without scratching the itchy parts (it can be hard, I know!). If the swelling goes down and the itch goes away, then you should be fine.
