Hey,
I have a question. When I woke up this morning, my left forearm was covered with welts. They are reddish and are not painful but feels itch pretty much. This never happened to me before. Is anyone familiar with causes of these welts?

Hello,
Maybe the causes of welts are chiggers (worldwide pests). They are not dangerous and no diseases are transmitted by chiggers. An allergic reaction to saliva injected by chiggers causes reddish welts which itch.
Their byte is annoying but not dangerous. Although if it feels really itchy, don't scratch yourself too much since you may break your skin which may cause an infection. The treatment is very simple and it’s gain is to relieve the itching. Buy antihistamines and corticosteroid creams or lotions and that might help.
Causes of welts might be chiggers. The way you described your situation it reminds me of chiggers but not necessary… Maybe you causes of welts are not chiggers.. I guess the best is to show it to the doctor.
