Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and it could be a delayed reaction to an insect bite. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like syrup Cetrizine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
