Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and you seem to have an insect bite reaction.
If was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 5-7 days.
For pain you can take anti inflammatory medicines like tablet ibuprofen.
This will resolve the rash.
