Bite: Likely a bite from a spider or other insect. These can sometimes get infected. See urgent care as may need antibiotics if really getting painful, swollen.

I get 1-5 red itchy welts at a time, I sometimes catch them early and apply hydrocortisone cream and they don't get as bad. They last 1-3 weeks and it has been happening for roughly 5 months now they resemble a mosquito bite or pimple in appearance?
