Insect bite
I was sitting at a park area 2-3 days back, and was bitten by insects like mosquitoes in and around thigh areas. Since the past 2 days it has become red and inflamed like mosquito bites and quite itchy. I have started applying some suthol after bath, and then boroline cream. I am out of station and have no access to doctors nearby. Your suggestion would greatly help. The inflammation is not severe nor I have any other symptoms, but it is quite itchy, and there are many bites.
