Makes sense to me. I'm cool with time doing its deed. I'm just very analytically oriented by nature and not knowing what I'm dealing with for certain drives me as batty as the itch does. It could be an allergic reaction to something else completely for all I know. Which only bugs me more because now I want to know what I'm allergic to. The treatment seems to be the same for every scenario. Address the itching and let time run its course. It's just the not knowing for certain what I'm dealing with that "bugs" me!

I'm starting to believe it! I'd like to amputate my legs! That stuff the doc gave me isn't doing squat... I've started using a benadryl itch cooling spray and it's far more effective. I'm still not sure what I have going on here as it physically looks like chigger bites, but it's spreading like poison ivy does. Up to my abdomen now... Chigger bites don't spread... You sure you weren't frolicking around in the Ivy..? If it's spreading and it's Ivy, I'd go get a shot to stop the reaction... Yeah, chigger bites don't spread, and poison ivy blisters. I've got no blisters and a spreading rash of what appears to be bug bites. I've ruled out bed bugs too, fwiw... I'd say that this quandary is making me really scratch my head... Crabs?

For either PI or Chigros (politically correct you know), try covering them with deodorant. Will help dry them up. To help prevent Chiggers, take a bath with two capfuls of bleach in it as soon as you can after being outdoors. Kills the little devils it does! :-)
Man who had a shot glass full of chiggers he could control, could rule the world!~
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
