Rash, bug bites, or allergic reaction?

A few days ago I got what I thought was a mosquito bite.  Then it seemed like it started to spread.  I have multiple areas on my legs and arms. Very itchy with bruising. I have pictures but don't know how to upload here

It sounds like a mosquito bite, but if it continues, I would see your GP to rule out anything more serious.

Can you describe the rash?  Is it red bumps filled with pus (sort of like a pimple) or is it small red spots that appear to be under the skin?  

A mosquito bite is mosquito bite and doesn’t spread, though mosquitos carry diseases that might cause a rash.  I’d suggest you see a doctor to find out what’s wrong.

It's red bumps on top of the skin.  No pus
