Swollen Welt Due To A Bite, Hurts More Than Itching. Took Triple Antibiotic, No Help. Immediate Reliever ?
I apparently got bit by something yesterday afternoon in the woods riding around on a side-by-side. Later that evening and still later, it swelled and swelled... The welt is now about the size of a tennis ball. It s red, inflamed, hurts more than itches and it s on fire! I have left it alone and put triple antibiotic and alcohol on it.... Nothing yet...
