I have red bumps that look like bug bites on my arms, under arms, lower back and left leg....
I am not sure what these bumps are because they did not itch at first, but they did later on yesterday night. I have had them since yesterday around 7:30 pm central time. They are not fluid filled, dry, or blistering. They look exactly like bug bites. I know they aren't bug bites because when I get bug bites they swell up bad and I immediately start to itch. They started off on my left arm then by then end of yesterday night they were on my right arm too and my right shoulder. Today I found one on my lower back and now some on my leg, but they look more like a razor burn rash. What could this be?
I have this too. Did you figure out what it is? I just got them last night I think, but like you said I didnt immediately start to itch like a normal bug bite.

It sounds like it could be red bugs or jiggers. They are not bug bites but the bug itself in the skin. I had them and they are hard to get rid of. It took me nearly a year. The medicine the doctor treated me with did not work. Try scrubbing them and taking a bleach bath (bout a cap full.). Bedadine also kills bacteria. I also used lice shampoo to treat my whole body. Make sure you wash sheets and stuff as much as possible. If it is any kind of bug these things will work. Be consistent.

I also have this, but it started on the tops of my feet. if i don't itch them for awhile, they shrink into tiny red bumps resembling poison ivey/poison oak. but when i itch them (it's impossible not to), they look exactly like mosquito bites. it's unbearable. then, today, i noticed my boyfriend itching his arm constantly. he took his shirt off, and on his right side, big mosquito bite-looking bumps, also on the backs of both elbows, and from the top of his left shoulder down to his wrist. they resemble bug bites, only his are a pinkish red color. i dont know if i should take him to the E.R, or if i'm over- worrying, but it's spreading fast. we've tried oatmeal bath, benadryl itch cream, caladryl, washing the sheets/blankets... i dont know what to do. they're now on the back of his neck. Does anyone have any idea of what the h this is?

if they are chiggers or jiggers or whatever the name of that bug is that imbeds itself in your skin you can easily treat it. Don't bother with a doctor. Just go get some nail polish and paint over each of them. They will die and go away in a day or so.
