Need Medication For Bug Bite Which Looks Like A Blister & Causing Itchiness
I have a bug bite or what i thought is a bug bite on my back. it has blistered up and was itchy, but sore. its a cluster of blisters and one blister that has strayed off about 1/2 an inch. Now I have had it for 6 days and it just aches like pins and needles? what could it be?
Insect bites are usually pretty easy to treat unless secondary infection sets in.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist, who would suggest you short course of oral antibiotics and analgesics. Oral corticosteroids may be added as required. Apply a cream containing mupirocin for 3 days followed by a cream containing halobetasol and fusidic acid twice a day over affected areas for atleast 5 days. Take antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
