What could cause an itchy insect bite like rash to get increasingly worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hives or bite?: If you have not been bitten by an insect, your rash can be hives and can get worse. If you have been scratching an insect bite it can get infected. Seek medical help to determine the best course of action.
