Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems like you might have got insect bite reaction.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist, who would suggest you short course of oral antibiotics and analgesics. Oral corticosteroids may be added as required. Apply a cream containing mupirocin for 3 days followed by a cream containing halobetasol and fusidic acid twice a day over affected areas for atleast 5 days. Take antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
