A member asked:
I have bites that are very itchy, so much so that i always end up scratching open the scabs when they form. what are they? it has been months or so?

See the doctor: You have some type of dermatitis that is itching. Do not scratch;as this may increase the rash reaction, and could lead to infection. It could be something contagious like scabies that could affect the entire family. Please see your health care provider as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
