hi there, i have an insect bite to the back of my upper thigh. i got it last friday and it is still very itchy/sore and has risen considerably and spread to around the size of a big orange in circumference. what should i do about it? i have been using anthisan cream so far.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The fact that it is still itchy would imply that you are still having an allergic response. You may need to consider the use of a mild steroid cream to help reduce the inflammation. This can be used for a few days, if the rash is only allergic, this would help. In some cases, an infection can occur as a result of the introduction of bacteria due to the scratching. If this happens, the use of a topical antibiotic would also be needed. I hope this helps
