Allergic Rash to Bugbites Posted: 10-13-06 16:49pm
I usually get a bad reaction to bugbites,
swelling, extreme itching, etc. About a
week ago I woke up covered in little bite
marks all over my arm, which quickly
became a nasty rash. Over a week has
passed & it's still very itchy, the
rash has spread (mainly because of
scratching) & welts. I've tried
everything I can think of: ice, aloe vera,
afterbite, baking soda, you name it.
Hydrocortisone makes it burn & itch
more, anti-itch cream doesn't work very
long. Any other suggestions? I'm about
to cut my arm off from the itching.

The swelling and the extreme itching is an
allergic reaction of your body to the bug
bite. And as for the itching that for over
a week, but still there...I suggest that
some putting something on your skin...That
maybe will cause to irritation on your
skin...Why not consult a doctor for your
problem..And as for the bus problem...Why
not try to put something on your house to
let the bugs go away....So that the
swelling and itching will not happen
again..Beside prevention is better than
cure right?
