What Causes Bug Bite Allergies?

Hi Dr. Grief. I m thankful you are online and can provide some guidance. I have bug bites everywhere and they re getting worse - so almost rash like. I am very allergic - take levocetrizine (sp?) daily and have recently added benadryl. I also have Desonide lotion that I ve used on the places along with calomine - not sure which is the better choice. I m thinking I might need to go see my doctor tomorrow. My dogs have no signs of fleas or ticks (we treat them for it) - but I still need to treat the yard which I haven t done this year. What do you think? Call my GP in the morning? or my Dermatologist?

thanks for your query in HCM,

you need to see your dermatologist

whatever treatment you are taking is right, but before that confirm the diagnosis from the doctor and manage it accordingly. please avoid self-medication
