Skeeter syndrome (papular urticaria) is a localized severe allergic reaction to mosquito bites, [1] consisting of inflammation, peeling skin, blistering, ulceration and sometimes fever. It is caused by allergenic polypeptides in mosquito saliva, and therefore is not contagious. [2]
The term papular urticaria [4] is commonly used for a reaction to mosquito bites that is dominated by widely spread hives. Here, papular urticaria is regarded as a symptom of mosquito bite allergy manifested in individuals with one of the other mosquito bite allergies but particularly in those associated with eosinophilic cellulitis.

Hives, also known as urticaria, is a kind of skin rash with red and/or flesh-colored, raised, itchy bumps. [1] Hives may burn or sting.

The most common cutaneous mastocytosis is maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis, previously named papular urticaria pigmentosa (UP), more common in children, although also seen in adults. Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) is a much rarer form of cutaneous mastocytosis that affects adults. [2]
Common symptoms include pruritic erythematous papules, [3] with a size of 1–3 mm, [4] and a central punctum, [5] as well as macules and urticaria. [2] Individuals frequently describe repeated or long-term episodes of papular outbreaks, often appearing in clusters and accompanied by severe itching sensations. [6]
Furthermore, other clinical differential diagnosis could be from drug eruptions, urticaria, or viral exanthems. [ 9 ] Sometimes, people may require a 3- or 4-mm punch biopsy to exclude herpes gestationis, which is a variant of bullous pemphigoid occurring during or immediately after pregnancy.
