It s obviously a thing with a bug.I ve tried putting ice and some creams(medicaments) for swollen skin and stuff but still, I wanted to ask you urgently because I have to travel tomorrow. Thanks in advance, here s a picture http://i.imgur.com/zFNozgJ.png
<bot>: Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Most probably this is an allergic response. You might have bitten by some insect or some shoe has done this allergy. I would recommend you to try following:> try to wear open shoes so that skin is not covered.> use cetirizine one at night for 5 days for itch.> Apply fusicidic acid 2% ointment over the skin twice daily> Wash hands before and after applying.> Keep it clean It will start resolving by itself in 2-3 days. Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
