Red Mites
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Red mites are tiny arthropods that live in plants, gardens, and areas with vegetation; upon coming into contact with the skin, they can cause bites that produce discomfort and irritation in some people.
Common complaints: Small reddish welts, itching in exposed areas and, in those who are sensitive, more pronounced skin reactions usually appear.
When a check-up is advisable: If the itching is intense, the area becomes inflamed, or the lesions do not subside within a few days, it is time to have it evaluated by a professional.
Recommended specialists: The dermatologist evaluates skin lesions, while the allergist helps when an allergic response to contact is suspected. Before applying remedies on your own, it is worth having one of them review your case and advise on how to care for the affected area.
