How Can Rashes Around The Groin And Upper Arm Be Treated?
I have a lot of bites around my groin. I can’t tell what is causing them. I just had a few bites show up on my upper arm below the arm pit. I used some anti lice foam twice, without any positive results. The bites look like they are from a mosquito, but I have not seen any. I can’t see any sign of bugs. I was outside today playing golf, but covered myself with a deet spray. This has been going on for about a week but the amount of bites are getting worse. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your complaints and it could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
