What Do Red Itchy Rashes On Body Indicate?

My daughter and I have been experiencing red, itchy spots randomly on our bodies. She has had one or two on her face but mostly a random one or two on her back, stomach and upper thighs. Only once has there been a grouping on her. I have a few randomly spaced bites on my legs but primarily they are on one hand and on that same arm. I see zero physical signs of bed bugs in our mattresses and my husband and son are not being effected? What could be happening?

Hi,
Thankyou for your quiry.
Brief ..it is acute urticaria.
Detailed answer...
Acute urticaria is allergic response to some triggering factors like ( dust, food allergy or change of weather).Since it also runs in families and different family members can suffer from this type of allergy.
My opinion would be get pin prick test a food allergy test done and C.B.C to rule out easinophilia first and note down what factors trigger these rashes.
You may use tab.telfast for 15 days to reduce the rashes and allergic response of skin.
Hopefully my answer is helpfull.
Regards, Dr.Maheshwari
