small red dots?

Question:

ok i had these small dots on my wrist i cant emphasize on how small they are i know it cant be chiggers because it only happened last night while sleeping the red dots are like a billionth of an itch wide. they itch but not uncontrollably. is it a bed bug but i dont think so because it didnt swell and also i had this deep flesh wound about an inch wide a few years back but now its heales but it still is really soft and discolored when i woke up this morning it was swelled alot and was hard...could it be spiders or dustmites

Answers:
it could have been an allergic reaction to something that bit you or a spontanious allergic reaction to something you used (soaps,perfumes,lotions,etc) or the detergent you use to wash your sheets...

i have had several allergies pop up just within the last year-mostly food allergies and things that i used to eat all the time and was fine with-i'm now deathly allergic to them.

try using hydrocortisone cream or benadryl cream to the bumps and see if that helps clear it up. you can also take oral benadryl tablets-but be very careful b/c these will make you sleepy-no driving. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6-8 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours.

if this doesn't help clear it up within 24-48 hours and it's still bothering you-make an appt to see your dr. sometimes allergic reactions (especially to bites) are so bad that you might need antibiotics to stop the reaction
