I got bit by a Japanese beetle aprox,10 years ago.on my leg.there appeared a quarter size circle that was red and itched awful.it stayed there for 2 years then one day just went away.now it is reappearing in the same exact place on my leg and itches and is red.do you know why this is? and does this sound normal for a Japanese beetle bite.p.s. I tested negative for lime disease
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you. It is suggestive of infection to you. The bites are infected and so red circle is started. I advise you to take polypoid cream over it. Also take cetirizine and paracetamol cream as and when required for itching and fever. I will be glad to answer your further query. Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. Wish you the best health. Thank you, ChatDoctor.
