hives - bug bites?

We noticed hives on DS tonight - raised, quarter, and dime sized, red, no pus, positioned on upper inner thigh, belly, chest, neck...We do not think that this is an allergic reaction to any drugs, food, detergent, etc..We do think that it could be insect bites.  We do not have fleas but have been sleeping with the windows open, screen in.  We have never seen bugs in the house.  He has gone outside but we have never seen anything flying near him or crawling on him.  What is confusing to us is why there are so many hives (multiple bites from one bug?) and why they are all but one in locations that would be covered by clothes almost 99% of the day.  Thoughts?

Re: hives - bug bites?

  • I had a rash several years back that sounded exactly like that.  I switched detergents twice thinking it was a reaction to that.  Ended up I had some kind of rash that needed sunlight for it to go away.  The dermatologist actually told me to tan in a tanning bed for a few weeks.  It went away.  I can't remember what it is called though.
