Like me, you may be allergic or have a sensitivity to the dog or something on the dog's fur like its body oils or dander. Some dogs have stiff hairs that poke your skin and allow oils, etc. to get under your skin, causing that type of reaction.

The solutions are a bit limited, but washing yourself immediately after petting or contacting the dog may help. You could try bathing the dog on a regular basis, or taking antihistamine or other anti allergy medications (not a solution for everone, research the pros and cons of this), or try wearing long sleeves and gloves to play with the dog.

How does dengue mosquito bite looks like?

Assuming you are not overly allergic to mosquitoes or insect bites, a normal bite will look like a red or white bump with some redness surrounding it. A bite from a mosquito carrying dengue will appear larger, redder, and be itchier. It may turn a purplish color and spread a small rash as well.


What do cockroach bite look like?

Cockroaches do not usually bite, (only in extremely rare cases) as human skin provides no nutrition for cockroaches. It's often the nasty allergic reactions to cockroaches that are thought of as a bite. If a cockroach runs over skin, the places that get prolonged contact display large, mildly red, raised bumps. Often multiple bumps running in a straight line, similar to a mosquito bite, but with much stronger itch. The surrounding skin may then also become red and itchy as the reaction spreads due to scratching of the initial bumps.
