What Can Be Done For Red Rashes That Look Like Bug Bites On The Legs And Arms?
I have several bites on my legs mainly and some on my arms. They start out as a typical bug bite however they continue to itch more and more over time. They kind of remind me of welts. At first they r red then red outer circle with whitish centers. They seem to reactivate the next day and look like they did when I first got them. I ve tried Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream both did not help. Any ideas? XXXX.
