How Can Allergic Itching All Over The Body Be Treated?
I got bit by a bunch of mosquitos, and black and yellow longhorn beetles and now my entire forearms and calves are covered from top to bottom in bites, and they re relentlessly itchy. I can t sleep, patches of my face are red, and my lips got chapped very suddenly. Please explain possible causes. Thanks!

Hi i do care for your concern.
Your history suggest allergic reaction to the insect bites.
This is a type of hypersensitivity reaction against substance released by these insect.
I would advise
To consult your physician and get a shot of dexa if needed.
Taking medication such as benadryl will help to reduce the itching.
application of calamine lotion over skin will add to the help.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
