Hi Doc I was in Virginia doing some yard work in a wooded area of my backyard. I noticed a series of bumps on my wrists.. I went back out some days later, to continue trimming hedges and I always use deet, but I may forgotten one. but I noticed clusters of bumps all on both exposed arm, forearms and elbows. Some clusters were oozing a clear liquid and the bumps caused a lot of itching. Perhaps you can help me identify my condition. I went to an urgent care facility and they stated the looked like lesiions
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 7-10 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
