Interesting: Never heard that the skin would be susceptible to insect bites more than someone else's unless the smell of the skin- soaps, colognes, perfumes, etc. maybe attracts the bugs more. You might try not wearing anything that has a fragrance to it- even washing clothes in fragrance free detergent and dryer sheets.

Need more info: Your scent or pheromones may be attracting the uninvited pests. Avoid all perfumes or any product you use on your skin. Another cause may be from some food that you eat. The best way to be sure of the cause is to see an allergist who can test you & try to track down the cause of why you are susceptible to these bites.
