What Are The Itchy Marks On My Body That Are Round, Raised And Red?
I am a 60 year old female who just returned yesterday from visiting relatives in Florida. I have some bite marks on my body. I did not go near the water or to the beach. My husband and I slept in the same bed, belonging to my granddaughter, and he has no bite marks. I have no allergies that I am aware of. The bites are scattered, 2 on my leg, 2 on my neck, my arm. my foot. They itch and are round, raised and red.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If the red markings are not all over the body and it is just one or two then this could be insect bites, if you do not have history of any allergic condition then this would be insect bites only, you can apply some soothing agent for this and the best medicine is "Diphenhydramine" lotion is the best choice have good day.
