chigger bite
Larval arachnid wound
A chigger bite is the itchy red welt left by a chigger—a tiny mite larva that burrows into skin and feeds on tissue.
The bites typically appear in clusters around ankles, waistbands, and other areas where clothing fits snugly.
I scratched my chigger bites until they bled.
The intense itching can last for days.
