Suggest Remedy For A Itching And Bleeding Spot On My Hand From An Insect Bite
2 months ago I awoke with what seemed a bug bite on my hand with a puncture mark in the middle and was able to extract a furry leg? from the puncture mark. The bite left about a dime size red mark on my skin that now has grown to the size of a fifty cent piece and is scaly, itchy and if I scratch bleeds and oozes clear fluid. I went to a general practice doctor who told me to use baking soda topically and also prescribed oral antibiotics which have not helped. I am concerned as it is growing.

Hi
You seem to have developed an allergic reaction.
You need to be treated with application of topical steroid agents along with oral antihistamines.
In some severe cases ,even oral steroids have to be given .
So I would advise you to see your nearby dermatologist soon for proper assessment and treatment.
