How To Treat Puffiness And Itching Sensation Caused Due To Possible Bug Bite?
I appear to have a bug bite that appeared (didn t notice actually getting bit) only on several joints. one on three finger knuckles and a new appeared yesterday on my elbow. Now my elbow is puffy and itchy. Is this a histamine response to seasonal allergies?

Hi,
If taking an antihistamine and applying an emollient over there does not help in 3 days, it is better to consult your doctor. It is difficult to comment on the cause without seeing an image at least.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
