Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern. As per details, it seems that you have got insect bite reaction. In such cases, I prefer to advise combination of steroid and antibiotic like Futop B cream. You may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine for symptomatic relief of itch. I hope it helps. Take care
