Could The Bumps On Skin Be Caused By Insect Bite?
not sure if i got bit by a spider, flea or mosquito,,several small mosquito like bumps but some have a small dark dot in the middle. Was in puerto vallarta at the time. Doesn t seem to be spreading but was bitten about four days ago and they don t appear to be fading.

Hi,
It seems to be insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected area and take antihistamine like tablet Cetirizine for 10 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
