Suggest Remedies For Insect Bites

about a month ago I had a patch of bumps that to me looked bug bites and they itched terribly. eventually the itching stopped and they disappeared. Recently the same type of bump was on my right arm and yesterday one came out on the left and again I thought it was a bug bite. However at the same time I got an irritation in my bikini line and between buttock cheeks... scratching made a blister in a vertical row and washing made them somehow surface and then go below my skin, any thoughts?

Hi,

I would suggest you to
- Take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen as swelling is there and take additionally oral antibiotics if there is evidence of infection.
- Avoid exposure to sunlight.
- Maintain complete hygiene.
- Apply topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin is usually given in such cases.

If symptoms keep on persisting visit general practitioner once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
