Lichen urticatus, otherwise called papular urticaria, is an allergic response to insect bites or stings. This illness produces rashes on the skin. Moreover, depending on their size, inevitable bumps may develop into fluid-filled blisters known as vesicles or bullae.
Lichen urticatus cannot be transmitted. It may manifest as a result of an allergic response to the presence of insects. Bites from bed bugs, mites, mosquitos, carpet beetles, and fleas are some of the most frequent causes of this disease.
Lichen urticatus affects children aged 2 to 10. Nevertheless, all ages of adults and children are at risk.
