Itchy Swollen Eye With Bite Marks On Back. Tried Cold And Hot Compress And Hydrocortisone Creams. Any Other Suggestions?

Okay about two days ago i woke up with a very itchy swollen eye and bite marks on my back that look like mosqito bites that are also itchy like my eyelid. I believe them to be spider bites ive tried hot compress, cold compress and those made it worse i have also tried hydrocortisone cream. What should i do to treat these bites? My eye is more swollen than it was originally.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

you have developed an allergic reaction to bite of some insect.

Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.

Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful if your condition is severe.

A photograph of lesions would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
