What causes recurring swelling and soreness on skin after bitten by a mosquito?
Patient: Hi there I was bitten about 2 months ago by possibly mosquito and it got badly infected. It s lower part of spine. Was given fucidin cream 0.5% and it took swelling down but still left me with small red marks. It s suddenly swelled up again and very sore and looks infected. Why is this? What can I do? Doctor: Hi,It seems that there might be having secondary bacterial infection following something bite.In this case only local application is not enough.You might require antihistamine like Benadryl or cetrizine and a course of antibiotic medicine to clear infection.Consult your doctor and get examined.Apply triple action cream on affected area.Ok and take care.
