Insect bites..swollen?

Hello,

I posted a topic last week regarding an allergy from razor blade.

Yesterday something had bitten me, and i was scratching the place, i wore a tight shirt and then when i came back home i saw that ot got swollen. I did not use there any razor blade.

The funny thing is that last last week a was in a location near Danube where all the possible insects were there, and this thing did not happen there. Yes, i wore a spray for insects and when something was bitting me i did not scratch the place, only used insects bites.

The place there is very itchy, i will continue use insect bites cream and put something cold over, but what to do in the future? I may be probably allergic to some mosquito bites here in my hometown.

Oanav have you tried taking antihistamine tablets I take one every day and keep antihistamine cream in my bag always you can buy it at the chemist or your doctor can prescribe it. Put calamine cream or lotion on to stop and calm the itching good luck 😀
