Thanks for your help.
He was very itchy and trying to scratch, so the calamine helped!
Since then I have been very careful about using bug spray every time we go outside and he hasn't had any of these marks since. I didn't change anything else like laundry soap or anything, so I am almost certain that it was mosquito bites.
Hello,
These lesions can be due to insect bites, hives, contact dermatitis to the laundary detergents in which bed sheets have been washed or soaps. If other members of the family also show similar symptoms then scabies is an important possibility. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can also give some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
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. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Somebody help me please?? I'm trying to decide whether to call the exterminators or not
