Suggest Remedies For Itchy Bites On Thighs And Lower Abdomen With Burning Sensation

I recently got some bites on the inside of both my thighs and one on my lower abdomen, they itch and burn. I am trying to identify what had bit me and what can I do remedy the bite? I was in my back yard on the patio and noticed the bites the next day. when I itch them they swell up a little.....trying not to do that.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an insect bite. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application to relieve the itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
