I am in India and have noticed a raised line rash on both sides of my forehead. The rash goes in a straight line. I consulted a dermatologist in Delhi that prescribed pills and an ointment names Flutibact. She said it is bug bites. I find this strange
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Linear lesions (line like rash) are commonly due to insect bite hypersensitivity reactions. So, please continue your Dermatologist's prescription for the period she had mentioned and follow her. In case of any severe complaints like breathlessness do consult your dermatologist immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
