Taken Paracetamol, Reoccurring Itching, Looks Like An Insect Bite. Cause?
I took a drug ( paracetamol to be precise)2weeks ago and a few hours later,i started itchin seriously but subsided in the morning.but i noticed that the itching stops in the mornin but starts towards the evenin and into the night.the surface of the affected ares looks like i have been bitten by an insect but i wonder why the reoccurence.please what might be the cause?
Paracetamol is one of the safest drugs and you have taken it 2 weeks ago.
If you think that you suffered an insect bite and then scratched the area with your nails to decrease the itching, probably a minor skin infection could have happened.
Please do not scratch the area any further. Applying a skin soothening cream may help.
Hope this helps.
