What Causes Cluster Of Bite Marks On Ankles While On Vacation?
Hi, I m on vacation in Puerto Rico and I stayed at a hotel on a Island. I was there for 1 night and I woke up the next morning with about 25 bites. I thought they were mosquito bites at first and I have put anti itch cream on them to see the redness go down. They did at first but I m back at the house in staying at and I notice a big group of them on my ankle. They look like hickies and I want to be sure they aren t something else major.

Try that these do not sting. If you can, apply some anti mosquito repellant or simple oil at your ankle. If there's anti lergic spray, that can be used to keep swelling at bay. It's not much dangerous otherwise redness would not go so easily.
