I think I am having a allergic reaction. It started around Sunday I noticed what looked like a few ant bites but was on my hands and went to my neck and jaw. I dont know what could have caused it but have been taking allery tablets and using itch creams but it is not working.
Hello dear,First, kindly do not apply any ointment over skin without consultation, as it may be harmful. The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be either due to allergic reaction or a fungal infection. Management includes:1. Keeping the area Chat Doctor. 2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to reduce the itching sensation & provide symptomatic relief.3. Application of topical antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole to tackle the causative organism. If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause. So that appropriate management steps could be taken. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
