General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to bug bites. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the itching. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
