Suggest Medication To Remove Itchy Bug Bites From Body
About 3 days ago what I thought were bug bites appeared on the back of my right shoulder. There were about 4 and they are in a line. They are very itchy and I now have several more of them. On the side of my neck, one on the back of my neck, one on my thigh and now I feel like one is trying to start on my face. I have been putting anti itch medicine on them, but it doesn t help.

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.You should try to use mosquito nets as much as possible. Topical mild steroid cream like mometasone can be applied over the affected area. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
