Hi Dear ,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy insect bites on the body.Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper hygiene. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and avoid applying any cosmetics on body. You should apply only petroleum jelly. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. You should take plenty of fluids and take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
