Hi I am Ruth I have had for many years trouble with a bite like places on my legs. I have been to many skin specialists and they have given me many tests. Nothing comes up in the tests, but I have the most trouble in the summer. We live on a farm and have had a lot of rain. My husband said he has been getting seed tick bites. The doctors think I am really allergic to insect bits. I wear rubber boots outside. We live in KS. My doctor has given me several meds to put on the bites but the places are on fire for about three days. Any ideas on what I can do beside stay inside? I now have 5 places on my legs. Always on my legs.
Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. If you have itching and burning sensation over bite area, take some antihistamine like cetirizine twice daily and apply calamine lotion to prevent itching, which soothe the area. If u have rashes all over the body and swelling my advice is to consult the physician to rule out anaphylaxis. Hope to have given you desired information. Feel free to follow up for any queries. Regards,
