Suggest Treatment For Insect Bite

I have a bite of some sort, that was seemingly just a random bug bite. It s about the size of the opposite end of a BIC pen. When I first saw it, it was just a red bump. The following day it is swollen and had a yellow ring around it. I was basically raised in the woods lol never had a bug bite have a yellow ring around it.

Hello,

It may be due to insect bite.

For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.

For itching you can take tablet loratidine.

Watch for symptoms like breathing difficulty, severe itching, rashes.

Maintain proper hygiene

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