What Causes Red And Itchy Rashes On The Forearm?
I m not sure if I have bed bugs or not, but I keep getting bit by something! Bites are red and itchy. I ve had an exterminator come treat for bed bugs yesterday and I took a nap this afternoon and noticed a new red mark on my left forearm- but this one is not itchy yet. The exterminator told me he did not think I had bed bugs but because of my bites, treated anyways. He thinks it could be dust mites. Who can I go see to confirm what kind of bites I keep getting since I can t catch the bug?

Hi sometimes these may not be bites at all but a reaction to something we ate. Please check on your food especially meat, fish, peanuts, other nuts that may be setting off this reaction. And a course of Omeprazole will help for a week along with Fexofenadine--regards
