How To Treat A Bug Bite Type Of Rashes That Keeps Reoccurring?
My 6-year-old daughter got what we thought were bug bites in October on her arms and shoulders. We used Benadryl and lotion. They cleared up. Almost a month later in November, she got them back but this time they were on her shoulders and stomach and a few on the legs. We took her to the doctor who was curious about something in the pox family. They cultured a lesion and said it came back normal. The lesions all finally cleared up. Now the end of December/early January, she is getting the spots back again. This time they are strictly on her back.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The over all history is suggestive of some allergic reaction that appears on exposure under lying causative factors only, (Hypersensitivity reaction) and that need to be found out, meanwhile you can give "Hydroxyzine" 2.5 mg twice day, this will give better result, take care and have good day.

Welcome to HCM.
Recurrent red lesions indicates some allergic reaction,it is called urticaria or hives.
Most likely is due to some allergy.
You have to be watchful for triggering factor.
Otherwise you can go for allergy test to diagnose to confirm the allergen.
Give levocetrizine or fexofenedine during episodes.
Local application of calamine/aloevera lotion will be helpful.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
