How Can Itching And Crawling Sensation On The Small Toe After An Insect Bite Be Treated?

I was bitten on my baby toe one night about 4 mos ago while sleeping.. my foot swelled up and I got a shot at my family dr the next day. Swelling decreased. However my toe is constantly itching. To the point that I have scratched until it bleeds. I actually have a sensation of something crawling on that toe... not sure if that is the nerve endings or if there is actually something crawling .. I know that sounds crazy...

Hi,

You can apply low potency steroid with antibiotic combination like Betamethasone/Neosporine combination for symptomatic relief. Nothing much to worry and the symptoms will settle soon.

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