Mosquito Bite Like Boils On Lower Half Of Body. Is It Any Allergic Reaction?
my husband and I woke up this morning and had what looked like mosquito bites on the lower half of our bodies. I only have a few, but my husband has them all over his legs, butt, and pubic area. Tonight, he has them all over his scrotum and one on his penis. Any idea what it could be? I was thinking an allergic reaction to something?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I guess there must be fleas or bugs in your bed linen or blanket. As you have described, your blanket or sheets might be harboring some insects and that could have bitten both of you in your sleep.
Please get your sheets and blanket washed at the laundry and have them sun soaked regularly. I do not rule out mosquitoes totally as it depends on your surroundings.
Hope this helps.
