What Causes Itching On The Leg After An Insect Bite?
I have a few (2/3h bites on each leg. They are very itchy. Sometimes it feels tingly. This happened about three days ago and I used a cortisone and caladryl lotion and it helped. I though it went away and now it s back worse than ever, sometimes my whole body feels like it is itchy and tingling
