Rash? Allergy? Anyone kind enough to explain?

Heyyy...

I have this mosquito-like bites on parts of my body. It gets swollen a bit and ITCH like hell. It first appears as like a line mosquito-like bite and spreads bigger when I scratch it as it ITCHES...

It appears on a few parts of my body, my thighs, my hand, my legs, my arms, ALL at diff parts on diff times.

Stays about for 30 minutes then hte itch reduces. So does the swollen part. It really appear like REAL BIG mosquito-bites. Pretty sure no mosquitoes around.

It does nt have any fluid oozing thru or anyth. Just tht when I stratCH it WAY TOO HARD, it leaves a mark like a bruise and at times bleeds.

Is this a form of allergy or smtg else?

P/S : Is this a HIV symptom or stg or is it MONO? Sry, but I kissed this guy, so, is this possible?

THANKS A LOT. APPRECIATE THEM LOTS!!!

You "kissed" this guy? HIV and most STDs don't transmit by kissing, so you can rule that out.

Your issue seems to be allergy related. Keep in mind that mosquito bites are allergy related. So are flea, bed bug, and other types of bites that aren't infected.

Aside from the insect bite scenario, you could be having an allergy to your soaps/detergents you use, from the shower to laundry. You could also be manifesting an allergy to something that you are eating or drinking.

Pay attention to what you eat and where you are when the bites appear. Reactions will usually get into the swing of it about 30 minutes after exposure. So, when something happens, think back 30 minutes and write down what you ate, drank, and where you were.

Don't scratch until it bleeds! This can actually make the reaction worse over time. Use your heel of your palm and rub it. This will help move the histamine out of the cells and get blood flow into the area, speeding your recovery instead of prolonging it.

If it suddenly comes all over you, and then it goes away; it sounds like hives. Take some benadryl. Try keeping track of what you eat and drink in the hours before.
