Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Reaction: It may be a reaction to the bite or infection. Have your doctor look at it, to make sure it isn't a Tick bite. If there is a possibility, be treated. All the best.

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?

Insect bite. Red raised bump and then often itchy rash extended out about 1.5 inches to left (no bullseye). If it was Lymes would it have kept expanding? Would it also have faded away after two days of Neosporin if it were Lymes? No other symptoms?
