Regarding insect bite

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

You may take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. In addition I suggest you to use a topical steroid+antibiotic combination ointment e.g Fluticasone propionate 0.05% +Mupirocin 2%ointment, twice daily for a few days. It is a prescription topical medication.

Hope I have answered your query.Let me know if you need any more assistance.
