I recently decided to sleep in the basement due to the heatwave in New England because my a/c was broken.
I woke up, and had a raised rash on my side of my torso. It is raised, with white little bumps, and itches and sometimes stings.
I think I was bit by something a bunch, maybe a spider or bed bugs. Close family thinks its more serious and I should see a doctor. I am in between careers and low on cash with no health insurance, so a doctor is my last resort. Researching online has not been too successful.
Thanks

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks more like a chemical burn than an insect bite. I can't tell the size of the rash/bite/burn. Smaller than a penny? Bigger than a quarter? How big?
The first thing I would do is treat it with 1% hydrochortisone cream with anti-itch compound in the cream. You can purchase it over the counter in any drug or grocery store. If you see improvement within 5 days, start treating it with a triple antibotic cream such as Neosporin or a generic version. If there is no improvement with in 5 days, I would consult a doctor.
