What Causes Red Itching Rash On Back After A Insect Bite?

I have a big red rash on my back. I went to the doctor and she gave me antibiotics and some pills to stop the itching. The spot started drying up. I took all of the medicine and now the rash is spreading around the healed area. What is going on. Should I go back to the doctor. I think it was a spider or an insect bite.

Hi,
It seems that this is local allergic reaction following insect bite.
Continue with antihistamine medicine for few days.
Apply triple action cream locally.
Ok and take care.
