Hi, I Was Bitten By Tiny Black Ants About 9

Hi, I was bitten by tiny black ants about 9 months ago. They attacked my right foot on the top. Now, I have "new" bites at the site, where it seems the bite has traveled and the itch is 10 times worse than before. I heard tales of the seven year itch before when I was a child. The bumps are raised but only extremely itchy at night. I've tried over the counter cortizone and benidryl creams, atheletes foot creams, tea tree oil, rubbing alcohol, etc... yet they keep coming back every month. Though, I did lance them myself about 4 months ago and thought I had it under control but got bitten by the same tiny black ants again 3 weeks ago and now it's "moving again". Any suggestions? My primary had no idea and just gave me a topical to use that did nothing. TY, Amanda
