Please tell me, could a doctor tell the difference between hives and bites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes he / she can: Hives is blanching while bites are inflammation and not blanching. Also, depending on which insects bite you, it can release venom / chemical that can cause the skin to form pus.
