Some clusters were oozing a clear liquid and the bumps caused a lot of itching. Perhaps you can help me identify my condition.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 7-10 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
