What Is The Remedy For Itchy Spots All Over My Body After An Ant Bite?

I believe I got bitten by a new kind of ant this summer. Apparently, I am allergic to the bites. The itchy spots were at the ant bite sites. The allergic reaction spread and spread. Now it is only on my right hand. It was on the side and one the pinkie. I thought it was soon to be over. Now it is on my ring finger. It is a thin well like trail. Scabbies has been ruled out. I'm just wondering what it might be.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
The best treatment for ant bite is antihistamines in oral or syrup form. Benadryl is a good medication. Apply calamine over allergy site for soothing relief.
