I woke up to an itch Monday at 4am. When I got up I noticed a bite mark close to where my shoe made a slight mark from it rubbing me wrong. I applied neosporin and a bandaid. By Monday evening it was huge and had fluid. Tuesday mid day my ankle was swollen even though the bite is on my heal. I applied ice and took Benadryl last night. I went to the doctor this morning and they treated it for staff and said treating it for a bite isn t much different. They gave me an antibiotic shot and bactrum and told me to keep a heating pad on it and keep it elevated. I ve also kept neosporin and a bandaid on it the entire time. I ve read that for a bite I should not apply heat though so I m a little concerned. Is there anything else I can do or change because they said if it gets worse I will have to go to the ER.
