hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have gone through your concern in depth .

@ Insect bite management is a multi factorial approach as
# keep the area clean with antiseptic liquids
# ice application 3 times a day
# lavender oil and coconut oil alternate application every 6 hourly
# avoid tight fitting shoes
# benadryl can cover itching part
# use of systemic antibiotics or anti fungal , anti inflammatory requirement
depends upon physical examination .

Hope this will help you .
