Suggest Treatment For Red Area On Insect Bite
I was bitten by something one week ago today it was red with a darker red center to it for several days and was not healing. three days ago i put rubbing alcohol and peroxide on it several times before putting neosporian on it, then covered it with a gauze pad and with medical tape. today I took the covering off and the red circle has not yet gone away and it has not changed at all. what should I do and what is it from?

Hi,
It may be insect bite dermatitis caused by toxin injected by an insect. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would like to suggest you take a short course of antibiotic. Oral steroid in tapering dose and application of antibiotic cream.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
