Suggest Remedies For Itchy Red Welts On Eyelids With Swelling Post A Bug Bite
I was bitten by something on my eyelid 11 days ago. It didn t hurt but was very itchy. I could see a raised red welt on my eyelid the next day. Within about 3 days my eyebrow above the welt began to itch and became swollen. Now 11 days later I have itchy red spots from my eyebrow up into my hair above the bite. They itch but they sting also. I am beginning to have small bumps around my eye as well. The itching is intense but they also sting. What do I do?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the bug bite.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.
I also suggest using a steroid eye drop for local treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
