Rashes, Itching On Waist, Underarms, Wrist. Swelling With Red Patches. What Is It?
my 25 year old son slept on a friend's couch last night. He woke up with a rash athe the waist, under the arms on his forearms and wrist. There is lots of itching with some of the bites(?) = round and red. Some seem swollen and have made more of a patch of redness and swelling. He says the insides of his ears feel swollen.

Hi, it appears to be the utricaria due to the bites of the insects, or the dust in the new place, or the food he had last night.
I advise him to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. He may need to be treated by antihistamins, and steroids, and antibiotics. thank you.
