Pain And Itching On The Finger, Feeling Heavy. Insect Bite?
I got bitten by something 2 days ago. I felt it when it occurred it was a sharp sting. I did not find anything around me when I looked. After about 12 hours a white pustule appeared with severe pain ( I got bit on the finger ) The pain woke me up in the middle of the night. Then the next day it itched and hurt in my entire hand . Now the aching feeling is up my entire arm . It s not unbearable it just aches and kind of feels heavy.

Hi, you are having insect toxic dermatitis. Take short course of steroid in tappering dose, antihitaminics, antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Apply antibiotic cream. Take rest. I hope you will be relieved. Still, you consult dermatologist.. Ok
