Suggest Remedy For Itchy Red Rashes Due To Bug Bites

I had 18 bug bites on my right arm two weeks ago. They looked like a mosquito bites. They itch immensely. Now they have turned into red rashes. It is a raised rough looking surface. Some days there are tiny little bumps present in the red rash. Other days you can t even notice the rash. I m thinking that the rash has been caused by my constant scratching.

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain due to allergic reaction to the toxin chemical that is injected in your body and as the number of stings are high the toxin concentration is more and you have got itching and rashes due to it..

As of now you can take anti allergics like Levocetrizine and fexofenadine [allegra], apply a steroid ointment over the rashes,
Doing cold compresses and application of calamine lotion can also soothe the skin and reduce itching..
In case if still you do not find improvement consult an Allergist and he can also give to injectable anti allergics and steroids.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
