Suggest Treatment For Insect Bite Rashes On Legs
I have 5 insect bites on my legs. They have a blister at the center. i think it might be a spider that bit me. It was at night in my bed the site itches and has a red area around it. I used cortisone when I first got the bite. It has been two days, the biggest one with a blister just broke as I was rubbing it. Linda, YYYY@YYYY

Hi
You seem to have developed lesions of vector dermatitis.
This is basically an insect bite reaction and is allergic .
Application of mild topical steroid creams helps in most cases .
Sometimes oral antihistamines or oral steroids have to be given along .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.
