Help something bit me?


Question:
Last night something must have bitten me while I was slpeeping I thought it was mosquitoes but I'm not sure because the bites are huge biggger then the size of a quarter and are welt like. I have about 8 of these bites and the itch really bad

Answers:
First clean each bite with rubbing alcohol or peroxide.
Put ice on each bite, then make a paste of a tiny bit of water and as much baking soda as needed to create a paste.
Put it on each itchy bite. That will help the itching, the ice helps reduce swelling, and follow all of that with one Benedryl
(an antihistamine) as that helps also. However be aware Benedryl often causes drowsiness, so don't drive or operate any machinery and don't drink any alcohol when using Benedryl.
Buy Benedryl at any drug store (Walgreens, etc...).
Don't take Benedryl if you're allergic to it tho.
see ur doctor.
Maybe you've got fleas. You should consult your doctor if it continues to worry you.
go to the hospital... it must of had been something you were alergic to.
there is a possiblity that they could be chiggers. If you look them up on wikipedia or Web MD it should tell you what to do.
Yeah, might be a tick. I'd have a doctor check it out.
I had this before I believe it's spider bites.
you've got fleas. You should see a doctor
It sounds like spider bites. I'd see a doctor especially if they are painful.
do not scratch the areas till it tear your skin.. please see ur nearest doctor for advice. Could be some bed bugs.
That happens to me when I get bit by a mosquito, it's because I'm allergic to them.

Put Cortizone cream on them to stop the itch.
Wow, I would go to a doctor. It could have been flees ticks or anything.Have you had chicken pox before?
You are alergic to ehat ever bit you. I wouldn't worry now. To much time has passed for it to be anything harmful. Clean your room with a vacuum. Vacuum everywhere and suck up that bad boy before he bites you again!
maybe try webmd.com they have a symptom checker, where you pinpoint where it is on your body, whats going on, and they give you possible results. But its always best to see a doctor. It sounds kinda serious.
you mite have scavies. if your dat worried go 2 doctor
Rub them with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and see a doctor.
I think you may have got bit by a spider or some other dangerouse insect /you should see a doctor.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you may have been bitten.by something. I say walk it off. Your a tough chick.
That does not sound good at all. You might want to get it checked out incase of an infection.
more than likely misquitoes mine sometimes swell up the size of silver dollars almost always...you can put baking soda on it you can use rubbing alcohol.these will help with the itch..there were times i thought it was a spider bite it was so big.i am in texas and thats just how it happens here..it will help to take a benedril too
Its bed bugs!!!! Usually when you are sleeping and if you wake up with unexpected bites its bed bugs. I used to have them it was horrible. I didn't even know they really existed. They usually bite you a lot of on the same spot and they get itchy. And they only come out at night when your sleeping and they are really small. If you do have them I suggest you clean your room,vacuum if you have carpets,wash all your sheets and blanket sheets in hot water and maybe shake your bed a lil bit. And if it gets really bad you might have to get a exterminator or get a new bed!! Type in bed bugs in google they can give you more info about it. If you do have them get rid of them now before its to late!!
I'm sure it's not a mosquito bite. Flea bite is itchy but bit mark is not as big and doesn't swell as you have. Spider is out of the scene because spider bite is painful and bring fever. Usually cockroach bite does that swelling, reddish and itch. Find the culprit under your bed, otherwise 8 bites a day makes u a monster look one day!
