Suggest Treatment For Insect Bites On The Arm And Back
I have several insect looking bites that appeared on my arm and back while I was sitting in my office yesterday. I took Benadryl last night and put 1% hydrocortisone cream on them last night and today. A few of the bites seem to be rising in the center like a hard whitehead pimple. What the heck is this?
