Bug bite- what would you do??

[buckner]

If it's a constant and pestering itching, the doctor might want to give you a shot of cortizone. If that's the case, you won't be itching for long.

Definitely go to the doctor before it gets worse. I've made that mistake WAY too many times.

Looks to me like the reaction my ex used to get every time she was bitten by a mosquito.

what would *I* do? I would fret about it and avoid the doctor When I had my spider bite, it felt so good to put cold compresses on it and I also took Benedryl. I am thinking you can't take the antihistimine but maybe the cold would feel good? It is also a great idea to outline the swelling with a marker pen like you did so you can see if it gets worse. Fire ant bites cause lots of redness and swelling like that, too. Hope it is not keeping you awake Missy.
