What is the redness and itching in my wrist?
Patient: I woke up with an itching sensation coming from my wrist area. There were two small bumps that the redness seemed to be surrounding. At first I did not think much of it, but by now (night), The redness has reached all the way from my wrist to my elbow and is firming up. What is causing this? Doctor: Hi,  It maybe insect bite dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.  You may take antihistaminics like Cetirizine along with oral steroids in a tapering dose. If needed, antibiotic may be taken. Apply mild steroid with antibiotic cream.
