Yes I was outside. I think it was mosquitos. Could fire ants do that. I got bit by those before but that never happened.

Put hydrocortizone lotion/creme on them that will stop the redness and itching.
But if it becomes a problem, then you should go see a doctor because you might be allergic to whatever bit you

Well u\I have had much worse than that. Once I got this big bite on my back and i itched it and it still would not go away then it was bleeding and it turned purple. I didn't go to the doctor and it was PAINFUL! I hope you feel better though. Maybe you should put some ice on it. :) :) get well :) :) I know how much it hurts. Trust me!

Hi,
Dose yourself with antihistamines.
(Piriton 4mg( Chlorphenarimine)) are over the counter meds and are very good, might make you a bit drowsy though.
Take 4 together to give you a boost then 2 every 6 hrs.
If no change in a couple of days, off to the docs.

Wash them with soap and water and apply calamine lotion. DON'T scratch whatever you do, or they'll get infected. If your arm starts to swell, it means you have an allergy. Go to the ER right away. Otherwise, they'll probably stop bothering you in a day or two.

Use benadryl or cortizone cream to stop the itching. Don't scratch as that could lead to an infection.
Do you feel any other sympltoms? Dizzy? swelling tounge? If not, wait. It will probably pass.
BTW, what do you think bit you?

wash with warm water and soap and if it still itches get some aveeno anti-itch or calamine lotion at the grocery store. If the rash doesn't clear up in a day or two call the doctor's office.

Gently wash the bites with regular soap and water... Pat dry and cover with cortisone cream.... If they are swollen/painful take a benedryl... If the swelling persists go and see a doctor....

Where your outside recently?
Maybe they are bug bites, misquitos.
I would wait if they get worse call your doctor immeditly.
