Suggest Remedy For Redness And Swelling In Finger Due To Insect Bite
I have 2 bites on me from an insect & I have no clue what kind of insect. I have been bitten to the left of my stomach & my left middle finger on an arthritic joint which has caused redness & swelling. It does hurt. Within the last hour a white ring of skin has formed around my finger. Thank You!

Hello,
I suggest to use ice cube, a cold washcloth, calamine lotion, a paste of baking soda, or an over-the-counter hydrocortisone ointment. I you don't feel better like trouble breathing you should go to hospital.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
