What Causes Hives Like Red Marks On Neck And Fingers?

Over the past week, I ve had a series of bites. About 10 days ago, I noticed two red marks on the side of my neck...thought they were hives (I occasionally get 1 or 2 for an unknown reason). When I woke up in the morning, they looked bigger and were raised up. These have pretty much resolved. The next day, I had two fang marks on the inside of the left wrist...like two pimples. They itched and oozed for a couple of days. Can still see the red marks but they have resolved. The 3rd instance was a red blister between 2 fingers, then saw my internist, who said it was a spider bites. Was really red and nasty looking the next day and my hand was swollen. I was on antibiotics anyway. The 4th instance was a 4 days ago. Its a series of 3 red raised marks on my face in front of my ear. They were about as big as a pea or small marble...just now going down. Had 2 pest control companies out....nothing found in my place but lots of small cellar spiders in the basement (live in apartment). There were 3 wounds this last time. Could it still be a spider?

Hi,

Red marks on neck and fingers could be due to certain factors like change in environment, exposure to heat, cold,pollen and some animals and plants can also cause hives.

The most important thing is to find the trigger factor so that it can be avoided. I would suggest you to apply moderate steroid cream Momate-F cream, topically to affected area twice daily.

Give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling.If symptoms still persist the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor and prescribed treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
