Hi,

It seems that you have insect bite dermatitis.
Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

You may take a course of antibiotic like Azithromycine daily for 6 days with oral steroids like tab Methyleprednesolone thrice a day for a week, then reduce one tab every week for 3 weeks. Apply antibiotic cream like Fucidine cream.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
