Have Chiggers On Legs, Spreading To Back And Groin Area. Hurts To Touch. Could This Be An Allergic Reaction?
I have what i thought were chiggers after a day of weed wacking.. now they cover both my legs and are spreading up my back also, near the groin area where the leg meets the torso i have a red swollen area that hurts to the touch.. could this be an allergic reaction to something? (i have no known allergies) or just a coincidence?
