What Causes Tiny Red Rashes?
hi, i have tiny red insect bites - but i've had bedbugs bites before and they were larger, like a mosquito's bite. These are tiny and don't itch that much. I wake up with a few of them. I've seen tiny moth-like flies in my room before going to bed - any ideas what it could be?

Hi,
You may be right. Your problem may be due to insects hypersensitivity. The condition is called lichen urticatus. You consult the dermatologist and have firm diagnosis.
I would like to suggest you to prevent the contact with insects. And you take steroids in tappering doses,antihistaminics..etc. Apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. Avoid soap bath.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
