Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Red Bumps On Lower Leg

Hi I was bitten or stung on the lower leg in France in July this year. I have had 2 courses of antibiotics and one round of oral steroid medication. The wound has failed to heal and itches then raised bumps appear - like a allergic reaction. Please help! The wound is now approx. 3x3inches and getting bigger. Thank you. Andrea

For itchy and red bumps on lower leg you can take antibiotic like cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for rashes and itching. You can use betnovate-c or clop-g cream for local application. If still rashes persists than you can take steroids as suggested by your doctor.
