Itchy Bumps On The Body After Returning From Vacation, No Sign Of Bed Bugs, Had Few Mosquito Bites While On Tour. What Could This Be?

I came back from vacation yesterday from Samana, Dominican Republic and woke up this morning with itchy and little bumps on my body and throughout the day more bumps appeared and are very itchy. I have no idea what it could be. I checked the hotel there for and signs of bed bugs as I do every hotel and saw no signs. I got a few mosquito bites but I felt that as soon as I got bitten but these bites appeared out of nowhere and after I got home while I was sleeping and got more once I woke up and during the day while at work. I have no clue what it could be.

Your eruptions if they are Small, liquid-filled blisters that break open and crust over, could be chicken pox if you have never had them, otherwise it could be an allergic reaction to something that you might have eaten, either way an application of Turmeric powder pasted with honey would help with any related symptoms, otherwise a bath with neem leaves?Epsom Salt could help cool the body down (both these remedies contain antibiotic properties, and would have no related side effects). A fast for a duration of 3 days on an Alkaline diet consisting of fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, pineapple and peaches etc..will aid the body in this healing process.

Welcome to HealthcareMagicForum

Hi.. If the lesions are of mosquito bites, then it will subside by few days..
no medications is needed... also you need to clearly observe to rule out any allergic reactions..
wait for few more days and see., if it doesn't subside then you can consult a dermatologist..

Take care..
