A member asked:

Got bit by a chigger on saturday, scratched the spot unaware of what it was. it is now thursday and each night since a new bump has appeared.why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chiggers: In my experience chigger bites are usually multiple. If you are unsure of the diagnosis a dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you.
