How To Cure Itchy Bug Bites?

i have what seem to be bug bites on my arm very itchy and somewhat swollen. One of them is white with a redish outlining. Earlier last week i had them on my right arm a total of 12 and now i have 12 on my left arm it seems to be a little extreme to have that many bug bites in one place

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of itchy bug bites I would just advise to apply ice pack / cold compress and if possible apply calamine lotion or take anti-allergic tablets like cetirizine 10 mg!

The whitish one has pus inside and might drainage of it...
