Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
The condition you have described is called Papular urticara, which is an allergic manifestation to insect bites.
Apply a cream containing hydrocortisone and fusidic acid twice a day.
Soothing calamine lotion will also help additionally.
Take antihistaminics like Benadryl as required.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
