Hello,
It may be due to allergic reactions to bite.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
For itching you can take tablet loratidine.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Watch for symptoms like breathing difficulty, severe rashes and itching
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
