Hi I am 49 year old female and have had this rash which started with a small bump like an insect bite and started to itch and the more I scratch the worse it gets, am currently taking anti histamine tablets at night and it hasnt helped and it still is itchy and abit inflamed. This all started around the 12th December 2013 and is still itchy. Can you help?
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at ChatDoctorI would keep a possibility of popular urticaria, which is a sort of hypersensitivity to insect bite. Apart from the oral antihistamines e.g. OTC cetirizine or loratadine, which you can take once or twice daily; you also need to apply a topical steroid+antibiotic combination cream (e.g. mometasone+juridic acid cream) twice daily for 2 weeksregardstake care
