Suggest Treatment For Severe Hives In The Ankles

Yes, thank you. I went hiking 4 days ago. My ankles broke out with chigger bite red spots. The rest of my body has just an occasional bite. We have washed the clothes. I went swimming in the ocean for 20 minutes. What do you recommend I do more? I could purchase chiggerex and ibuprofen and apply those to the bites? What do you think?
