How Can Painful And Itchy Insect Bites On The Body Be Treated?

I have minimum of 10 bites on me that came from me standing outside with only a shorts on...5 of those bites from irritation and scratching them have swollen to a tremendous size then what it started as. My old foster parent think I carried a bed bug into my room but I think it was a spider or something else. But the bites that I scratched are very painful if I touch. More over puss will come out as well. I can send you a pictures if you want to see.

Hello dear. Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your query and understand your concern. Your insect bites are infected and I would recomand y
to use an ointment with antibiotics and corticosteroids such as one with Betametazon and gentamicne. Also you can take citerisine 10 mg twice a day to ease the itchiness. Best regards.
