Random bites
by ItchyNScratchy66, Sep 21, 2009 05:25PM
Hi
I have been getting bitten, look like insect bites, with a raised point in the middle, red with outer ring. Due to my sensitive skin condition, I get some sort of reaction to some of the bites, depending on the area of my skin where this happens. I've had bites on my leg, thigh, waist, neck, arms. underarms and ears. There are about 50+ bites in total so far.
It first started about 6 months ago, I got average of 5 bites each time, over the course of 2 months or so. I went to see my doctor, he doesn't know what it was, but the bites stopped, without taking anything! Just this morning, I got up with 5 bites - two on my waist, two on my collarbones, one on my right arm! The bites are itchy with burning sensation(inflammed?), red with an outer ring. It usually reduces its itchiness on the second day and will stop feeling itchy after a week or so. It then leaves a black mark due to pigmentation of my skin. They don't go away. I have been using Anthisan cream, which stops the itchiness for about 10/15 mins, I just keep on applying it.
I know I can't help to have bad reaction to the bites and to have marks. I would like to know how to prevent from being bitten by don't know what. Where should I start to find out what is bitting me?
I have included a picture of the new bite (mild) near the old ones. I would be very greatful for anyone that could help.
Many thanks.
