Blister Formation After A Fly Bite. Relapse As A Reddish Itchy Mark Spreading Over The Body. What To Do?
hi. thank you for your help. i returned from tanzania about 3 years ago however whilst there i was bitten by a nairobi fly which burned in the standard blister patten. i was advised that once it cleared it would be over. however each month or so it returns as a red itchy mark where i was bitten and then new areas around my body. i was wondering what i could do. many thanks for your help

hi and thanks for the query,
have you got any blood tests done following that bite? I would suggest you get a blood work up done and consult a physician or a dermatologist to see if they are related or these periodic lesions are different altogether. for symptomatic cure you could take some antihistamine drugs if it is unbearable.
take care.
