How Can severe Swelling And Itchiness On The Arm Be Treated?

Hi, I noticed that I got some type of bite on Saturday eve, this is the 2nd time that this has happened with the same results, Not only is it red, swollen, itchy, & hot but there is a streak running up my arm. I would really like to know what insect this is coming from for me to have such bad reaction. Not sure that you can answer that but I have been to the Dr/ ER and the lady there did a culture and treated it as MRSA, which camr back negative..

Hello,

But it’s quite impossible to recognize the rash like this.
Did they give you, anti-inflammatory.
You should see a dermatologist also for the same.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
