Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the site
I am Dr V XXXXXXX
I have noted your complaints and examined the picture. The description matches closest to multiple insect bites. The following should help anyone with similar condition.
1 Wash the area frequently using plain water, may be every four hourly.
2 Do not scratch, use of Levo-Cetirizine 5 mg per day or even a higher does, which is safe up to 10 mg per day, will control itching fast
3 A steroid-antibiotic combination like Flutibact oint applied several times a day is going to be very helpful in early resolution.
4 Protection from future episodes by wearing suitable footwear and socks is advisable
5 It might be some days before one sees signs of improvement.
I hope you recover fast and feel good.
Our best wishes!
