What did I get into?

I’m attaching a picture of my arm. I have these super itchy bumps but they are ONLY on my left arm. Mainly forearm and a couple on my upper arm. My two older boys have them too but my oldest boy has them randomly all over. Chiggers? Plants? I just don’t know why it’s one arm. My boy’s is in his armpit and one on his stomach. I don’t know, but Benadryl cream is useless on it.

If there's zero of them your legs, I wouldn't think chiggers then.

Bed bugs or fleas?
Well my wife doesn’t have any 🤔. Can’t find any info online
Sure looks like a bug bite of some kind.
That’s what I’m thinking. Just need some actual relief from it though. Driving me nuts

Do you have anything with steroids like a cream or something? I get tick bites and use a steroid cream to relieve the itching.

Where have you been and what have you done today? Been in the brush or timber?

I have those little piss ant around here. I get into them once in awhile and that's what hands and look like after they bite me. Itches like crazy but after a couple of days it quits. Just put some hydrochordozone cream (misspelled) on them and that will help some.

yeah the only thing I can think of is when I grabbed the goat the other day. Pretty sure I mentioned that in this thread. But the rash or whatever it is, is on my left hand and I’m right hand dominant. So I grabbed the goat with my right arm. 🤷‍♂️
Looks ALMOST like poison ivy/oak to me it’s a bigger area than just that one spot if you look close

Welcome to Oklahoma...Hydrocortisone cream is your friend here. Works on chiggers, mosquitoes, and rashes from plants.

Any oak trees? Oak mites will light you up like that.

So I found that cream. Been using it liberally today. Hate using that word 🙄. Woke up this morning and it’s gotten worse. Not even thinking about it I scratched my arm and opened one up . Sorry to be so graphic 😳. But it didn’t bleed. It just sort of weeped until it dried again. I’m not gonna lie, I freaking hate this. And I feel like I look diseased lol. Hopefully that cream starts working. Oh and I definitely found a couple spots on my torso. Sucks

Sorry you’re going through this. Maybe y’all got into a spider nest with hatched babies that got you.

i think you may be right. My sons legs are covered. Looks similar to my arm but more coverage. Got some pink oil stuff at Walmart that’s supposed to help.

Good old calamine lotion. If you go to emergency care, see if they will give you a medrol pack of steroids. You take 7 the first day, 6 the second, 5 the third and so on.
I get poison ivy like a gang buster and it sounds like you might have the same. My physician prescribes it to me and it's all gone on day three, but one has to take the pills until completely done.
The itching is horrible.

Gotta love some poison ivy, oak or sumac. Should be tje state plant of Oklahoma. My weapon of choice to get rid of it is a shot in the ass at the docs office
I am highly allergic. Good luck.
