How Should I Stop The Severe Itch In Right Thigh?

I had an itch on my outer right thigh. I did not realize I was scratching but as I got into my car I felt the soreness and realized I was still itching. I tried not itching and went to the store to get milk. I suddenly had a hard time moving my right knee. The area was extremely sore and still itchy. I got home and removed my pants to see a large bruise had formed with welt like bumps on top of the bruise. I put an ice pack on the bruised area while it still itched and it seemed a little better. I am still having a hard time moving the leg due to the soreness and the bruise is still visible with itching. I am not sure how to stop the itch.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some poisonous bite on the part giving sudden allergic reaction.
Take Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine or Benadryl medicine for 2-3 days.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days as well.
Apply triple action cream locally.
Ok and take care.
