What Causes Insect Bite Like Itchy Marks Randomly Appearing On Body?

What the heck would cause random what look like insect bite marks and itching that randomly appear in groups of two or three? My sister (who lives in another State) and I are experiencing the exact symptoms while no one in our homes is showing any symptoms! Been going on for a few weeks now so not bed bugs, not scabies, not fleas?!

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of insect bite like itchy marks randomly appearing on body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction to certain irritants, eczema, angiomas, acne, psoriasis and due to certain systemic conditions. It can also occur due to poor immunity of body and due to side effect of some medicines. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids and take diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to maintain proper hygiene. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and avoid applying any cosmetics on body. You should apply only petroleum jelly. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
