I was bitten two nights ago and woke up to 9 bites spread across both legs knee down. I couldn t help but itch them, I ve tried antishan, germolene cream and even fresh onion to reduce swelling they are still itchy and now look like blotches and very red. What should I do?
It seems like urticarial wheels caused by insect bite. Antihistamines to reduce the severity of urticarial wheals, topical steroids to reduce itching, antiseptic creams to reduce secondary infection, there are creams that contain steroids, antihistaminic and antiseptic like stiderm gel, twice a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
