Inflamation due to insect bite or cellulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query and attached photograph I concluded that you may be having inflammation due to insect bite or cellulitis. I empirically treat my such patients by antinflammatory such as ibuprofen and anti allergic such as cetrizine.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I have few questions from you.
1.Whether you have fever?
2.Whether you have restriction of movement of your shoulder joint.
3.Whether you have any difficulty in breathing.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
