How To Get Rid Of Bug Bite Like Marks On My Body That Causes Swelling?
I ve been getting some type of bug bites for two months now and I ve been to 5 different doctors and they have not been able to solve my problems. These bug bites and that whole area of my body swells up real bad. It is not a bunch of bumps together it is a single bite. It swells up my whole hand where I can t hold anything or my whole foot where I couldn t walk for 3 days or the bite on my face that swoll up my whole face like I was in a fight. The bite is one at a time (like after my hand is healed, then they is a bite on my foot, after that heals then one on my arm etc Please help I can t afford to keep going to doctor every 3 to 4 days

Hello,
As per your case history, you are suffering from Urticaria.
My treatment advice is:
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid, and hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
