What Causes Itchy Red Welts On Back?
Hi hope you can help. I have a number of itchy, red welts on my back. they have been biopsied and said could be bug bites. They have lasted for months. I have had an exterminator, sprayed my self and I think I am still getting more. Can it be something else?

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed urticaria.
It is an allergic reaction.
There must be a food product or any clothing to which you might be allergic to.
Try to find out the cause.
I treat such cases with an antihistamine tablet like cetrizine to be taken daily once for a month.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
