Bug Bites, Started With Whitish And Red Rings, Itchy, Diarrhea. Are The Symptoms Related, What Can This Be?
I am a 34 year old woman. I dont know if this matters but I just got back from the a few days ago. while I was there I got what seemed to be a couple of bug bites. the past 2 days more of what I thought were bites appeared. they start out whitish with a red ring, but within an hour they fade to red and are very itchy. I have also had diarrhea . Are these two symptoms related? what could this be?
