What Causes Itchy And Swollen Rashes On The Arms?
Every couple of days I awake with half dollars size bites on my arms. They don t itch until they swell. My brown skin turns red and stays swollen until the following day. I ve checked and read up of bug beds, but these bites are enormously large one at a time bites. What is biting me? How do I find a solution to stop these itchy bites?

Hello,
As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. You can also take an antihistamine like cetrezine for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
