Brief Answer:
Allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

With your description of symptoms i can think of two possibilities allergic symptoms or any bites.
Antibiotic ointment is not required, as with short duration of history and itching less likely to be from infection.
Treatment would consist in using anti histamines creams and keeping the area clean and dry.

If you have used any new things in that area, try to avoid that.

I hope this helps.Feel free to ask further related query.

Hi, thanks for follow up.

With your descriptions first possibility would be allergy and next comes any insect bite.

Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts.bedbug bites are on any area of skin.
