Suggest Medication For Swelling And Itchiness Due To An Infection

I think i was bit by something about 3 days ago. i didnt feel it when it happened therefor i have no idea what it was. It started out EXTREMELY itchy and kept me up all night. the past 2 nights the itchy has gone down to tolerance and it has formed a very small pustule in the center. It has been a perfect square shape the whole time. my skin has been very tight and swollen. HELP?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having localized allergic reaction to some thing bite and now due to severe itching some scratch marks might produced some irritation cut and induration giving rise this problem.
Take Cetrizine or Benadryl for itching.
Apply triple action cream.
If there is more swelling or induration, go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
