Accepted Answer

Make sure that there is no residual insect particles in the lesion and i wonder if your lesions have been infected.   You need to see a doctor about this.

Question 2

Can cetaphil help in preventing dark scar marks from occurring from insect bites and other skin rashes?

Accepted Answer

But it will soften the area and help make it less noticeable.  Normal insect bites shouldn't scar unless scratched open if this is a problem too try putting some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream on and covering with band aid.  If you are dark pigmented and have dark scars try fade cream but don't use it close to your eyes.

Question 3

I have small dry rashes on the face and small bumps on my neck. neck portion looks like a lot of bug bites. it happened all of a sudden. is it allergy?

Accepted Answer

Rashes often require a direct exam for their character & distribution to begin the process of a proper label. Those localized to a single region are more likely from contact with a local agent. Those that are more generalized may be foods or general contact. It may  be something different.

Question 4

I'm worried because my boyfriend has a rash that looks like bug bites all over his legs and it's spreading, what do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately your description is not sufficient to make a diagnosis. Given that the rash is spreading the best thing to do is to have your boyfriends rash evaluated by a doctor so that someone can see him in person.

Question 5

My daughter is allergic to insect bites...age swells up and gets a rash that looks like ring worm....i dint know what to get to keep the bugs?

Accepted Answer

Considered safe for children of all ages and for pregnant women, biteblocker organic xtreme uses only plant-based ingredients, like soybean and geranium oils (formulas that use oil of lemon eucalyptus are also botanically derived, but aren't safe for kids younger than age 3). As with most natural insect repellents, protection time varies greatly among individuals -- anywhere from 90 minutes up.

Question 6

I have a rash that looks like bed bug bites but i can't find any evidence of the bed bugs. is there any rash that's is commonly mistaken for bed bug b?

Accepted Answer

Most bug bites look similar so hard to decide what insect it may be without an exam and then sometimes that doesn't always help

Question 7

I have a rash that looks like a bunch of bug bites on my inner upper thigh but i have no idea what it is. help!

Accepted Answer

Not able to see the rash. Go to Doc who can examine the rash. It could be anything from contact dermatitis, prickly heat, a yeast infection, bed bugs,  scabies or many other things. Arm yourself with a checklist. 1. when did it start? 2. does it itch? 3. Is it getting bigger or smaller?. 4. Does anything make it better or worse? Good luck!

Question 8

I have a rash on my legs that looks like bug bites.  it started on the bottom of my leg spread up n 2 the other.  started after gardening 6  monthsago?

Accepted Answer

What is the rash like? Does it itch or burn?
If it developed after gardening 6 months ago, it may be from poison ivy.  Make sure that all material having contacted with the ivy gets washed off with laundry soap or else you will end up getting a rash whenever you come into contact with it. Your shoes, gloves, tools etc need to be cleaned.  Consider seeing a dermatologist also.

Question 9

I have a rash that almost looks like bug bites that started on my legs but seems to be spreading and very itchy and painful any thoughts as what it is?

Accepted Answer

This rash could be hives or irritation from shaving (most common),  when from shaving it is usually when you use a razor with more than 2 blades and try to get a close shave. If hives they only last in each spot for less than a day. 
Need to see and md for best advice. Can take benadryl/use calamine and stop shaving for awhile.

Question 10

I have a rash on my arms and lower back area. i was recently in contact with bed bugs but it does not look like bed bug bites. it looks more like an a?

Accepted Answer

I suggest that you take the time to have an experienced health care professional look at your rash. It is very hard to diagnose a rash from an incomplete description. Here's a picture of bedbug bites for comparison.
