Mosquito Bites or Hives?


Growing up, around November, i would get what appeared to be 15 mosquito bites. This is right after bingeing on halloween candy of course, were they probably hives? I have 4 total red bumps on my skin right now. I was lying in new bed sheets and started itching like crazy. I found two red bumps on my forearm, one little red bump on my lower back, and one on my calv. They still itch, days later. I didnt have a lot of sugar. Were they all mosquito bites?? There is a visible hole in the center of all of them (largest, most itchy is dime sized) ...was that from the puncture of a mosquito stabber???
There is no white or red rim, it is just red period. and they dont go in and out of my skin and pop up in different places..


Any ideas?

Hive typically cluster together, like all on your stomach, etc.

Since yours are so far apart, I would think they may be mosquito bites. You may be allergic more than other people to the mosquito.

Take benedryl to bring down the itching. Apply a cream or lotion that has an antihistime in it to stop the itch.

Eating sugar doesn't make mosquitos bite. They don't care for high b vitamins in your blood.

it could be mosquitos or hives but i'd double check for bed bugs.

"Bedbug bites also often occur in lines marking the paths of blood vessels running close to the surface of the skin. The effect of these bites on humans varies from person to person, but often cause welts and swelling that are more itchy and longer-lasting than mosquito bites. Some people, however, have little or no reaction to bedbug bites. Those whose bodies do not initially react may subsequently develop symptoms, however, due to an allergic reaction caused by the development of antigen. Bedbugs never crawl under one's skin and markings implying this may be signs of other skin infections or a severe allergic reaction to bedbug bites."
