Diaper rash is a common skin irritation in infants and toddlers.The same fungus that causes ringworm on the body and the scalp also causes jock itch and athlete’s foot. Ringworm is a fungal infection that causes a distinctive ring-shaped rash.There are several types of rosacea, but all are characterized by redness and rash on the face.

Skin may still itch, so applying calamine lotion, hydrocortisone ointment, or other itch relief products is helpful. Make sure to wash all cracks and crevasses really well. Take a hot shower or bath and scrub skin with soap to dislodge chiggers. The itching welts can last up to a week.Īfter leaving a chigger–infested area, wash clothes in very hot water to dislodge and kill the chiggers. A few hours after the chigger begins feeding, small, red itchy welts appear, sometimes with a white center. Chiggers prefer to feed on areas of skin under tight clothing (like waistbands, socks, etc.) or where skin is thin or tender (ankles, armpits, back of knees, groin). For humans, itching usually occurs after the larvae detach from the skin. Red bumps and a rash or lesions accompany the severe itching on a sun-exposed area. They do not actually "bite," but instead form a hole in the skin, and chew up tiny parts of the inner skin, thus causing severe irritation and swelling. When they come into contact with any warm-blooded animal they tend to congregate in areas where there are little hair and the skin is quite thin. The resulting liquefied skin tissues are then sucked back into the digestive system of the larva. They inject fluid containing digestive enzymes into the skin that breaks down skin cells. The larvae do not burrow into the skin or suck blood. Harvest mite larvae feed not by going under skin but by thrusting their small hooked fangs into the skin surface. Chigger bites don't carry diseases but can be very uncomfortable. Both humans and pets can be affected by bites from the red harvest mite.
