Really itchy ‘bites’ maybe

So a few days ago I had what appeared to be a bite on my heel. Then over a couple of days a series of ‘bites’ have appeared. No idea what these are and on both heels but they are so itchy. Can anyone tell me what they might be?

Looks a bit like nettle rash. Have you been walking barefoot on grassed areas recently. Potentially something else was there.

Another possibility is that with the hot weather animal fleas will be breeding like mad. If you have been bitten and scratched it the remaining area may be reacting to the scratching.

A similar possibility could be a mozzie bite that you have scratched causing a further reaction

No grass walking sadly

If it was a mozzie, maybe overnight, you wouldn't have been aware and it may have had a good feast before moving on.

Are they chigger bites? Chigger bites itch worse than any big bites. Ask your dr to be sure. You might want to try rubbing alcohol on them and then Colloidal Silver for healing.

Look like a Herpes simplex type of rash there fluid filled like little boils.

Get something like them my self on my feet and get on hands sometimes to

Mosquitoes bite singly and looks different shape to these.

They’ve almost all joined now on the heel and made a dry red patch that looks like a plaster #thankyouforyourhelp
