What Is The Solution To Get Rid Of The Dry, Scaly, Itchy Patch On Neck Which Is An Insect Bite?
I have a very dry, scaly and itchy and blotchy patch on my neck where I was bitten by something a few months ago. I think it was a spider. Initially it was blistery and then eventually went away but now the itch almost drives me insane, I have been bathing the area in Pinetarsol, what else should I be doing to relieve. its also quite hot to touch.

Hi,
From histrory it seems that due to insect bite there is local allergic reaction giving this problem.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Apply steroid cream locally.
Ok and take care.
