Insect Bites, White In Color, Rash On Back, Hip Area, Buttocks. Using Calamine Lotion. Treatment?
Hello! I am a 22 year old female. Weight is 203 and height is 5 6. A few days ago I noticed three large, what looked liked insect bites . They were white in color. Now it seems like it has spread and I have a welt like rash on the middle of my back, some on my hip area. But it lies mostly on my buttocks . I have gotten calamine lotion to help with the itch . Any idea what it could be?

1. 'welt' like rash could be hives, but it is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations, if still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
2. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Cetrizine and see if it helps.
