Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. A few months ago I was bitten by a flea. That exact spot then potentially turned into something worse. I have been treating it with ketaconozole and steroid cream per my doctors orders, but the red welts are now spreading to my entire body. What could this be?
