How Can Allergic Insect Bite On The Legs Be Treated?
I got bit by some type of bug , but I m not sure what kind . I thought they were mosquitoes but on the first two days of having them they were swelled to about the size of a golf ball , maybe a little bigger ( as far as width ) they were raised up a couple of centimeters and were super red and itchy . It s been 3 days since I first noticed them and now they look like a bunch of hickeys on my legs that are still super swelled up . My legs are going numb around the area a little more and more .

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take antihistamines like cetirizine for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
