Last night I had a blanket on that I don't usually use and started feeling itchy on my legs, so I took it off and took 2 Benadryl. I woke up this morning and this is what my leg looked like. I'm not allergic to Benadryl, I take it often. I thought it might have been the blanket or my bed, but the rash is only on the inside of my left leg. Nowhere else! Any explanations/solutions??

Hmmm, maybe try washing your leg!! But with not heavy scented soap cause that irritates the skin!! I would go to a doctor!!

That's what I thought...but it's so odd that it's only on one leg. Thanks!

Did anyone in your house go to a tropical region lately?? because then it's most likely bed bugs since they normally come from warmer regions.

Yes my aunt and cousin went to Florida and brought that blanket back. But why the one leg only??

I guess they were just attracted to that leg. maybe it was warmer or something. I don't know they don't usually bite you all over just a few places.

Looks like bug bites. Take Benadryl again & use cortisone cream. I would say if it doesn't go away after a few days go to the dr. I hope that helps
