Reddish Itchy Spots On The Legs And Back After Mosquito Bite. Have Itching. Allergy?
Hi,
I've just got back from Egypt, where I did get a few mosquito bites on my legs but they weren't itchy and were managed with anti histamine cream and spray. This morning alot of big red itchy spots have appeared on my legs, arms and back and are pretty unbearable. My flight back was last night and I was fine, the itching only started this afternoon. Could it be anything but mosquitoes or something else?

hello,
This may be a late hypersensitive reaction to the mosquito bite.
There is itching and rash over the arms, back and legs.
It may also be from any other allergy.
It is basically urticaria a hypersensitivity skin reaction to any type of allergen.
It may be food, insect bite, pollens, new cloths.
If possible find out the allergen and avoid exposure to the allergen.
