I'm not entirely sure where to put this, but I have been getting these patches of bumps on certain parts of my body that come and go. It started on my back, but now it's on my right foot, left ankle, stomache and chest. The reason why I put this here is I've noticed some on my penis as well. Any ideas as to what they are?

Not really any way to tell without at least a proper description of what they look like. Even then you can only speculate so much. In all liklihood, they're probably blocked sweat glands or something of that sort. They should start going away on their own, if not you could try chamomile lotion, which works very well for skin irritations. If that doesn't work, try something like hydrocortisone cream, which is slightly stronger. You can get both of these from your local pharmacy.
And if that doesn't clear it up, then you should probably see your GP, find out what is causing the irritation. It's probably just a minor problem, and you'll probably just end up with a perscription for a hydrocortisone based lotion with an anti-fungal in it.

Hives? What are you using, soap, deoderant, powder? Any of it new? Maybe a reaction to one of these?

No, nothing is new. They've just came and went off and on for a while now.
