I have about a dozen spots mostly on my back, they look like spider bites and they itch. There are 3 or 4 together. They fade and I get a couple more. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. My husband doesn't get these bites if that's what is is.

That many red spots sounds like tinea ( afungus), or bed bugs (though I would think both of you would get them) or misquitoe bites (some people attract them more than others). why not get a skin check up and get a definitive answer and treatment???
