A member asked:

Skin swelling up and it's puffy and itchy after i scratched it. but it was just a little bump and not a bug bite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hives: Swelling and itching of the skin after scratching is usually due to hives (urticaria) -- or more scientifically, "dermatographism." the little bump that started it all could very well have been a bug bite, however.
