How To Treat Clusters Of Itchy Bites On Legs?
Hi, I have little small bug bites that itch like crazy! They are mainly on my legs and concentrated in the bends of my knees. I just can t figure out what keeps biting me! They are small red bites. They are usually in clusters. I have a dog, but he doesn t have fleas. I have seen a lot of ants in my apartment lately. I just want to get rid of them and prevent them!

Hello,
It is necessary consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam. It could be an allergic reaction or a skin infection. I recommend performing some blood lab tests too:
- Complete blood count, ESR, PCR
- Allergy tests
- Antibodies for Lyme disease
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
