Bug bite, Antihistaminic & topical steroid antibiotic cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healtcaremagic
I have seen the attached photograph.
It is not MRSA infection.
It is a bug bite.
Don’t pick the scab.
Take an antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily and apply topical antibiotic steroid on this area twice daily for 7-10 days.
This will heal it.
