Question:

3 days ago I broke out with small red welts on the inside of my thighs,basically where the leg openings of your underwear rest, and they itch and also have a tip such as you would find from a bite. I have been doing some gardening, the only thing different from usual activities

Answer:

From your description alone, it is not possible to pinpoint the exact cause. This rash should be seen by your primary care doctor who will advise whether further consultation is necessary.
