Dermatologist,  's  Response
I think yours is the case of beetle bug dermatitis which is insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. You should avoid going out in areas with large vegetation especially in the evenings and night. You should apply cream containing momatasone -fusidic acid combination on the affected sites and take tablet levocerizine 5mg daily.
