Suggest Treatment For Itching And Swelling On Ankles Caused By A Insect Bite
Hi I have been bitten by something on both of my ankles - not sure what but they itch like mad, both have swollen especially my left and they are both hot to touch. I ve tried antihistamines and hydrocortisone cream, no relief as yet. Should I wait it out or get checked out?

Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and you require a short course of oral steroids along with potent topical steroids and antihistaminics. You need to consult a doctor for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
