What Causes A Growing Insect Bite On The Leg Despite Using Hydrocortisone?
I have a bite on my leg(I have no idea where it came from just woke up with it) and I ve been putting hydrocortisone cream on it but it is getting bigger, oblonged shaped, itchy and it looks like it pulsates from red to white... Should I go to the doctor?

Hello
I'd suggest benadryl cream rather than the cortisone cream and if it doesn't resolve in a day or so then see the doctor to see if you need a cortisone injection or a course of antibiotics
