Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have redness on your body along with itchiness due to bug bite . Well some times bug bite can cause body reaction or kind of allergic reaction . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist fr proper examination without any delay , because it can lead to anaphylactic shock sometimes . Doctor may give adrenal shot or prescribe anti histamine . For now take benadryl and apply cold compresses to affected area , which relieved swelling and itchiness .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
