What Can Be Done For Red Rashes That Look Like Bug Bites On The Legs And Arms?
I have several bites on my legs mainly and some on my arms. They start out as a typical bug bite however they continue to itch more and more over time. They kind of remind me of welts. At first they r red then red outer circle with whitish centers. They seem to reactivate the next day and look like they did when I first got them. I ve tried Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream both did not help. Any ideas? XXXX.

Hello,
It may be due to dermatitis.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
For itching you can take tablet Loratidine.
Avoid sweating.
Avoid hot and humid environment.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
