Are these bites??
Question: help, i was playing on the grass with my son in the sun and that evening my back was covered with itchy raised red lumps, at first i thought it was a heat rash and took a cool bath but three days later they are still there. iv never had problems with my skin so its not your adverage spots. Is it an effect of the sun or a bite from some thing in the grass. i don't have any animals so i don't think its fleas.
Answers: They are probably insect bites. See the pharmacist who is likely to recommend some antihistamine tablets.
could you possibly be allergic to the grass, and maybe you've got hives?
For most people, a minor insect bite, or sting, may cause a little swelling and itching. The site may be painful for a few hours. Bees, wasps, hornets, fire ants, and yellow jackets are the worst offenders. Everyone reacts to the toxic effects of insect venom. Some people are much more sensitive. They may develop severe allergic reactions.
Symptoms of insect bite allergy usually begin a few minutes after the sting or bite. Mildly sensitive people may have hives with intense itching and pain around the site as well as eye itching. Very sensitive people may develop severe hives and life threatening anaphylaxis. This condition causes:
* a tight throat,
* difficult breathing,
* nausea and vomiting,
* severe blood pressure drop,
* confusion, and
* severe anxiety.
Seek help right away by calling 911. Immediate treatment with epinephrine is needed. Sometimes cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is needed. Later treatment may involve other medications. Reactions that happen within minutes are more severe. Reactions that take up to a few days to develop are less severe. People who know they are sensitive should see a doctor after any sting, regardless of severity. Act fast if bitten by a black widow spider, brown recluse spider, scorpion, or if you have a violent toxic reaction.
Many people are sensitive without knowing it. Once an insect bite or sting allergy is confirmed, prevention is the key. If you are sensitive, avoid walking barefoot when outdoors. Do not disturb bee hives or hornet nests. Keep garbage cans tightly covered to avoid attracting insects. Treat mild insect bites for pain with a paste of baking soda. Apply a cold, wet cloth, or ice cubes. Over-the-counter products, such as hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion, reduce itching and swelling. If you have a severe insect allergy, always keep an Epi-pen or Ana-kit handy. Those who have severe allergies should learn what to do when bitten or stung. It is a good idea to teach co-workers and family members how to respond, as well.
you could have an allergy to your grass.
Are you taking any medication if you are it can be couter acting with the sun read the prescription and then see a allergy doctor.
If your back was exposed and you were lying on the grass, there are certain plant species that can cause a reaction like that.
Sure you didn't lay on some poison ivy? Are there any new medications you're on. Some make you extra sensitive to the sun.
It could be you have bites from a red ants nest. Hydrocortisone cream will help with the itching. take care
Just the other day my kids and I were in the back yard when my son complained of ants biting his feet. I took him inside to put alcohol on the bites and noticed my son was covered in red welts all over his body and his eyes were starting to swell. I freaked out and took him into the E.R.. When I informed the Dr. that my son had been bitten by ants before with no reaction, he suggested it was an allergic reation to grass. Hope it helps.
double check for a bulls eye type rash and other symptoms-that may indicate lyme disease which would require antibiotic treatment
It is not hayfever so rule that out. Well don't just assume it is not fleas. Maybe your neighbour has animals. It is not heat rash. Are you sure it is not fleas? Don't rule out that possibility yet till you have confirmed whether or not it is fleas!
Hi,the same happened to me.I had them on my back & one on my arm they took over a week to go.Good Luck
