What Is The Cure For The Swollen And Itchy Bug Bites With Pus Oozing?
So I have two bug bites, one on my back and one on my stomach. They have swollen and are really itchy! The skin is now feeling rough and is oozing a clear liquid. I don t know if it s a spider bite or what. It s been about a week and the one on my stomach does not seem to be getting any better.

Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I usually advice my patients to apply antibiotic cream initially for 7-10 days twice daily like mupirocin 2% cream.
For pain and inflammation , if no contraindication, you may take, anti inflammatory drugs like diclofenac/serratopeptidase for 3 days.
I hope it helps, If you have further query, you may ask me.
Good luck.
