A member asked:

I have red itchy bumps on my body that look like bug bite but when i scratch it it start to bleed what is it ?

Hives: These sound like hives_an allergic reaction to something internal or external to your body. Insect bites are a possibility also. If these persist an allergist can be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.

A member asked:

Tiny 1-2mm itchy red bumps have spread across my entire body since this morning and I would love to know if there is anything I can do to treat this. I haven't introduced anything new and been working from home all day, so can't pinpoint the source of this reaction. I've never experienced anything like this before. I have had bug bites on my ankles that are about 2 weeks old and were going away, but today have hardened and have clear puss. Not sure if it's correlated. Thanks Allergic reaction?
