Other cutaneous reactions to arthropods – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1329581953

Cutaneous reactions to arthropods other than discrete bites and stings. Although the most common injuries inflicted by arthropods are discrete bites and stings, some arthropods (including beetles, butterfly and moth caterpillars and certain species of mites) tend to produce more diffuse irritation of the skin with, for instance, irritant dermatitis or blistering.
