random raised itchy spots...

I have been getting these for a while now...they look like flea bites and I used to get them when I was around cats so I figured they WERE flea bites...but now I get them randomly when I'm at my mom's (no animals or other allergens I can figure out).

They almost look like hives. Here is a pic...any insight?

EDIT: I'm so annoyed this won't post...I hope it works somehow.

It's weird because if it was an allergy...I would think I'd have other allergy like symptoms but the last time this happened I was writing on a piece of paper and where my arm was on the paper, a bump popped up. This time I was just sitting here and my arm is against my shirt while I type...but so is my other arm lol. No logic.

hi i have been getting.those exact bumps the last 2 days and its driving me nuts very itchy. i to thought they were flea bites but havnt been around fleas and they just pop up. the spot will start to itch and then a bump eill apear. i thought maybe it was from my doxy. are you on doxy

Definitely looks like an allergy to me. I get those when my dog licks me bc I am allergic to her saliva. I also get them when I handle certain fruits with a lot of pollen on them, because of another allergy I have. Do the bumps disappear after a couple of hours? If so, I'd say it has to be from something that you've come in contact with that you are allergic to.

Do you wear a perfume or body spray?

Allergies can start at any time. I had a dog growing up and never had an issue. I even had the dog that I have now and never had a problem in the first couple of years, but in the last few years I've been getting those red bumps when she licks me. I was also never allergic to cats before and was always around them, then suddenly last year I started having problems being near them, where my eyes get puffy. Allergies are weird like that.

Hi there
Bites from Chiggers or Harvest mites,which hang around in grass at this time of year could be the cause.My husband used to be convinced that he had flee bites from our dogs until he found out that it was actually these mites--they itch like mad and last a few days usually.

My 5 year old every single night and day gets one and it lasts for about 15 mins and goes away do any of you know what it could be?

I started getting these yesterday for the first time and it is driving me crazy! It's not an allergy- nothing in my life has changed (foods, detergent, no new bugs, etc). It's just like I have an itchy spot, then in a few minutes I have a big red raised welt, like a hive or a bite. I started getting these yesterday and I thought it was fleas or chiggers...but then today they have been coming and going and I am not around any bugs (just in my house). I started ramping up my herbal protocol this week (went from taking Byron White formulas just 2x a day to 4x a day, finally figured out how to time that), and now this itching. What could it be?

INTERESTING.

I have found those on my body and they are most likely from mosquito bites. They welt up like that, cause the entire surrounding to be red and even warm to the touch. And they itch like crazy. Sometimes, there are teeny tiny little welts around the major welt in the middle.

I've never had mosquito bites that look like that before. I don't know if it's the lyme & co or the treatment or diff kind of mosquitos but that's exactly what they look like on me now.

Jendays i have them too and also in ... The arms!!!! I posted a science link where it says Borrelia causes urticaria like hives.

sounds like parasites to me-you may consider a round of ivermectin and albendazole

Hey guys,

So here's an interesting bit that might add to this thread.

Even before getting sick, I started having those itchy very tiny bumps that almost look like zits on my forehead.
These have become more common now that I've been ingesting antibiotics on and off for over a year.

One thing that seem to have been helping was the shampoo NIZORAL, who supposedly help fight some type of fungus.
This evidence led me to believe than these little bumps might have been the result of fungal overgrowth on my face. This could have make sense to me since antibiotics have the potential to create imbalance and give opportunity for "fungal" infection to thrive.

However my last trip to Dr. J. in Washington DC gave me a new insight on the matter.
The Nurse Practitionner i've seen there said it wasn't a result of fungus but rather a result of toxins under the skin.
It would be pretty common for people fighting Lyme to get them on their forehead or upperback.

So to this day, either the improvement from Nizoral was a coincidence leading me to believe that the toxins theory is valid, OR that it is indeed a form of fungal overgrowth on our body.
You could always try that shampoo Nizoral every day like I did (and let it sit for 5minutes) and see if it helps.

If you do try, please let us know how it goes.

Good luck!
