What Causes Small Red Bumps On The Waist And Legs?

About a week ago I was in my side yard where I seldom go because I was keeping my brothers dog. The next day I started finding red bumps like mosquito bites on my body in moist areas like waistbands, behind my legs etc. I assumed they were chiggers because a mosquito could no reach these locations. Now the two behind my knees and one on inside of thigh next to pubic area in hard, pink and enlarged. They itch so much at night I took benadryl to fall asleep. Are these chiggers? Should I see me doctor. And how should I treat it until I can get an appt.? Thank you, Margie

Hi,

Yes, it can be chiggers/allergy to china grass. A small plant with white backs of leaves/it can be some skin infection the dog has.

You need to see a dermatologist for inspection &examination of the lesion followed by specific treatment.

Till then you can use derivate ointment or Lacto calamine. Take an anti-allergic pill over the counter.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
