Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be insect bite dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A short course of antibiotic with steroids in tapering dose would be helpful. Apply antibiotic cream. Avoid using soap while bathing. Dettol liquid may be used for bath.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
