Dermatologist 's  Response
dear elens 148
well you might need a course of oral antibiotics like doxyycline &/or topical antibiotics like clindamycin and may be some antihistamines to relieve the itch.
but it is better if you can take it under the guidance of a dermat as he can better judge the dose and duration of treatment
hope it helps
