Brief Answer:
Antiallergics need to be given

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. I have checked the attached image. It seems that there is an allergic component associated with the insect bite.

You need to give some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for the next few days. You may also apply some emollient like calamine lotion or moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.

Hopefully that would help.
