Brief Answer:
Topical steroid and antibiotic cream, antihistaminic tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to apply topical steroid and antibiotic like cortisone cream and neosporin ointment on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
For itching take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
This should resolve your itching and insect bites.

Dr Asmeet
