Suggest Treatment For Hypersensitive Reaction To The Insect Bite

Brief Answer:
Lichen urticatus most probably
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM..
I read history and saw the photo. After that I could conclude that most probably you may be having lichen urticatus.
It is a hypersensitive reaction to insect bite. There may be itchy erythematous papular eruptions at various sites of the body. It is also called papular urticaria.
You consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and treatment?
I would suggest...
- steroids in tapering dose
- antihistaminics like levocetirizine
- apply soothing lotion like calamine lotion
- avoid soap bath
- take precautions to avoid insect bite
I hope you might feel better in few weeks.
Thanks.
