Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchy Red Bumps On Elbow
Yesterday, I started to scratch near my elbow. I didn t think much of it until I noticed I kept constantly scratching it. Now there are 4 huge red bumps and feel quite tender and a hot sensation when I touch it. It s pretty swollen compared to my other arm. I keep getting paranoid that it was an bug bite and I feel itchy everywhere now. I ve tried itch cream and the itchy just keeps getting worse. No one else in my household has it.
thanks for your query As per your symptoms its clearly being said that u developed allergy followed by insect or bug bite.m There may be possibility that you might have just scratch too much over your elbow and which rested in inflammation. Need not to worry you just can take NSAIDs along with a tablet of fexofenadine. These both tablet reduces your inflammation caused due to bug bite or even due to too much of your itching..Just to get it confirmed you can consult any skin specialist. god bless
