Can you get a rash from a bug bite?

Answer by  Cecilia (2828)

Yes, especially if you have an allergic reaction. The other possibility is that there was something like poison ivy on your hand and when you slapped at, or scratched the bite, it spread to your neck. Try some Caladryl on the skin or contact your health provider for suggestions.

The simple fact of the matter is, yes. You can in fact get a rash from a bug bite. The rash can depend on the type of bug as well as allergic reactions. However, you can still get rashes if you're not allergic, which, again, depends on the bug.

Yes you can. Most likely if the source of the rash is a bug bite you are allergic to the venom of that particular insect. Swelling, redness, itchiness, pain, and rash are all fairly common symptoms of bug bites in humans. You also can receive a rash from a tick bite.

Yes, you can get a rash from a bug bite. Bed bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and fleas are just some of the bugs that can bite and cause a rash.

It depends on the bug. Bed bugs, scabies, and lice can leave a rash. If you are allergic to the bug you can get a rash from it as well. Otherwise they usually just leave a bump.
