Q: Allergic Rash to Bugbites

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?
