Hi,
It may be insect bite dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest....
- oral antibiotic for one week
- oral steroid in tapering dose
- antihistaminics
- apply mild steroid with antibiotic cream
Take rest. Avoid soap bath. It may recover in a week or two.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
