What Could Cause Insect Bite Feeling Followed By Red Dots All Over Body And Dark Stools?
I have red dots forming all over my body from my stomach to arms and chest. This has been going on for the last 3 months. I ve also had dark colored stools for the last 1 month. When this all started I had insect bite feelings over the same area for a period of 2 days. Those feelings disappeared by red dots started to show up afterwards.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. The insect bite can be the cause of this reaction. I recommend using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also recommend using a mild cortisone cream for local application such as Hydrocortisone cream.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
