Bed bugs vs hives: Hives can occur suddenly anywhere on your body. They are pink to red, smooth textured- flat topped bumps that can be very small or large or may even coalesce. They can itch intensely as well as stinging. bed bug bites may cause no sx's/signs in some except for 2 small points where skin was punctured by bedbug. When there's a reaction, it may show as fast as an hour or may not show for several >.
