How To Treat Itchy Insect Bites On The Arms And Legs?
We just returned home from vacation in Iowa, by the Mississippi river. I am covered in bites all over my legs and arms, the itching is horrendous, I fear they may be sand fleas or chiggers, what can I do to relieve this problem? I have squeezed the bumps and nothing has surfaced except clear liquid.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be the insect bite but it could be allergic condition or it may be infection pyoderma could be the cause, and it needs to be managed with "Povidone Iodine" Diphenhydramine tablet can also be taken, ideally all the skin condition demands the clinical examination cream hope this information helps.
