Itching On Face And Torso After Coming Back Home. Is Itching Due To Parasite Attack?
I live in the city and go running daily. On occasion, by the time I arrive back home, I begin itching and realize that I've been attacked be what appears to be a gang of some sort of parasite. The result are a dozen or so welts, mostly on my face and torso which stop itching after an hour or so and are completely gone in a few days. There is no sign of them in my clothing. I've only had two experiences with such parasites- the mosquito and bedbug... long story short, I know from experience that this is neither. What could these parasites be?
Hi itching on the face and torso after coming home can be acute urticaria if it is transient and papular urticaria if they are persistent.usually insect bite reactions are persistent.in this case as these lesions are transient they are due to solar urticaria.it can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.alaspan in the morning .and application of calamine lotion while going outdoors can cure the condition
