Suggest Treatment For Itching Rash On The Arm

I just got 2 bites on my right arm but didn t see anything bite me. They just all of the sudden started itching while I was sitting in my bed. Yellowish in the center, red and blotchy on the outside. Very very itchy and kind of hurts when I touch or scratch them. What kind of bug bit me and what should I do about it?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to bug bites. I recommend using a mild cortisone cream for local application such as Calamine lotion. I also suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily to prevent the itching.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
