Common Questions and Answers about Red itchy bumps on skin like insect bite
bumps
Now this year it has happened again, and another specialist again has diagnosed it as insect bite. I do not under stand why insect bite would happen in the same part of body twice (it repeated on a much lesser extent in feet also) !!! The Doc has suggested me Fluticasone creame, an anti allergic (levocetirizine ) and an anti-biotic.
Please advise what I gotta do, and is he treating it as insect bite really!?
After that, what start as small bruise-like areas turn into red, intensely itchy bumps on the exposed parts of the body (arms, legs, chest, and sometimes the face).
Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
i have tiny itchy itchy bumps on my hands most of them look like ant bites a few look more like just red itchy bumps on my pinky there is maybe two or three red bumps together they almost look like mosquito bites. have some around my elbow and have some in the under arm close to the armpits. but i do have alot of these ant and mosquito looking bites on my fingers and palms.
for the last few months i've been experiencing a gradual outbreak of bite-like sores on my arms and legs. they tend to appear one at a time, and do not fade for around two or three weeks - this is often because they do not get a chance to heal, as they itch so badly overnight that by the morning they're bleeding and so need to scab over again. they are around 2-4mm in size. there is no liquid/pus inside the swellings; they are just hard, raised bumps, which bleed when scratched.
The newer rash ranges between looking like the red, raised lines of the jellyfish sting and smaller, singular red bumps. It is in a bout 5 different spots including both legs and my groin. The lymph nodes in my groin have also felt enlarged this whole time, as my body has been fighting all this off. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Two nights ago I was in bed and I noticed that my side (side of my chest below my right breast) was itchy. I didn't think much of it; I just figured it was an insect bite. Yesterday my side was quite itchy again, and when I looked at the area it was much worse than I expected. I had 3, very red, raised linear bumps and the surrounding skin was red as well. The middle of each bump had a tiny bit of puss in it.
She’s fine when she goes to bed, she wakes up in the morning with this rash that looks like insect bites. She has red, very itchy bumps, in cluster, or forming a line, or even isolated, usually on legs, belly, lower back. So far it happened a couple of times a year, usually around springtime, for three years now.
We saw a dermatologist last year, he said that there was no doubt they were insect bites. He said they could bee fleas, but we have not pets.
Hello,
Scabs only appear whenever there is an injury to the skin like in case of insect bite. If the scabs are itchy then the possibility of scabies has to be explored. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
Hope it helps.
Hello,
Since these are not rashes but itchy bumps, so it does not sound like eczema. Insect bite and viral infection are important possibilities but the diagnosis needs to be confirmed by getting a biopsy skin done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
A month or two ago my girlfriend swatted at a small type of bee. Shortly after she noticed that her side was itchy and when we looked there was a red "bump". Now,months later, she has a red circle that is slightly raised with a rough surface that has a few bumps. We assumed that she was stung and the stinger had stayed in her skin. I looked at it today in an attempt to see if there was a stinger and if so remove it.
Red bumps have formed along the underside of my penis and onto the front of my scrotum, as well as a few smaller bumps on the head. All the bumps are fairly small, red, with no type of scab or white head to them and are not secreting any sort of fluid. I have not been sexually active in several months and therefore don't believe this to be an STD.
Hello,
From the symptoms it sounds like hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.
Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply some calamine lotion on the rashes. If the symptoms persist then topical or oral steroids may be needed.
I keep on having these red, itchy bumps all over my body. They started about 3 weeks ago. At first I believed they were bedbugs bites. I had 2 different exterminators looking for bugs. Did not find a single bug of any kind. The red, itchy, look-like-bites are more on my ankles, in both sides of legs, in the back (around the area where is my bra). Went to my Dr he said I have chicken pox (this was my 2nd time in 18 years), no fever.

Signs and symptoms of bedbug bites will usually affect only the surface of your skin, revealing themselves as small itchy red bumps. However, some people may develop allergic reactions or larger skin reactions such as: large, itchy wheals; blister-like skin inflammations; groups of small, swollen sacs or skin rashes. Antihistamine medications may help. Try t keep the lesions clean and dry and avoid manipulation to prevent secondary infection.
But, I started getting really itchy one day and I got little red bumps on my penis, balls, inner thighs, butt, back and stomach. It's like a HORRIBLE mosquito bite gone crazy. I itched so much that i got a rash on my inner thighs and i itched at my balls and penis so much that the bumps got bigger. And being active all the time and sweating in my boxer area did not help at all. I went to the dr and told them that I thought it was because of new laundry detergent.
I've recently been noticing a strange phenomenon of skin-colored bumps, about half the size of a nickel, sometimes in a group of five or so, and sometimes solitary. They itch slightly, though not enough to scratch them to the point of skin breakage like a mosquito bite. There is no "head" nor do they exude anything, and seem also to have no point of entry, like an insect or spider bite.
They usually show up in the morning, and are gone within an hour's time.
m only allergic to alcohol (itchy sking) and heavy dust (nose and eyes), and this started only yesterday after I took a nap on that old couch in the living room, which has almost never gave me problems except on 2 occasions (nose and eyes). Now I got red, itchy bumps all over my body, especially on the limbs, which kind of come and goes, and come and goes. It's getting in the way of sleep.

SEVERAL months ago (i think it was march) i was bitten by something (i think). I had a red raised bump on the bottom of my foot with what appeared to be two little bite marks on top. It was painful and itched something fierce. Eventually this sort of went away, but before it was completely healed, next to it there appeared a little bubble of skin filled with pus--also EXTREMELY itchy. Since then, each time one of these little bumps has started to go away, another has appeared.
They are small, reddish bumps on my skin that are mostly appearing on my arms and legs, and they itch like a flea or mosquito bite. They itch for about an hour, and then fade after a day or so. I shower daily and wash my clothing regularly, so I have no idea where this is coming from, and they appear throughout the day.
Shortly after the bites started appearing, I spent a week visiting my boyfriend in another city.
Hi, Since April 21st I am having red bumps appearing . First it started on my foot that i had about 5 red spots that were itchy. First I thought it may due to shoe, or just normal foot fungus reaction.. and in week the marks went off. But i had new bumps on my neck and arms very itchy. And i started cleaning my room thinking it might due to any insect bite. But once the marks gone new batch came on my hands a group of 5, one in my tummy and one in thigh.
I have itchy, flesh colored bumps on my foot. They itch like crazy, ridiculously, some are clustered, some are spread out, its kinda random. I recently had a nasty spider bite on this foot, at least, what i assumed was a spider bite, that is mostly better, just a little red around that area, but now i have these bumps and they itch like crazy. I accidentally popped one w/ scratching (bad, i know, to scratch, but i feels a little better when I do. ><), and they are fluid filled.
