i asked awhile ago about bites because i thought bedbugs..well there always in same place. look like hives maybe.difference between hives , and bites?

Accepted Answer

Persistence: Hives generally appear in a location and disappear from that location within a day if only to pop up in another place. They generally do not recur in the exact position previously seen (if a focal area of skin is involved). Bites can recur in an area of skin due to exposure for the insect, but often not in the exact location.  Rash due to bites typically persists for &gt;24hrs. Hope this helps.
