Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Perhaps it is an insect bite hypersensitivity or a poison ivy like dermatitis. I suggest you use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g. either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment. In addition, I suggest an oral antihistamine e.g. Cetirizine for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
