Hi, I have what appears to be an insect bite on my leg. The area is raised and red like a round welt, the center is round and white and it has been oozing a clear yellow liquid all day. The liquid will form a scablike crust if not disturbed, but the bite is extremely itchy. I have additional welts on my legs as well, but they are just red and raised. Should I seek medical attention
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your query you have infection at the site of insect bite leading to itching and fluid discharge. You should take:1. Antibiotics like Augmenting 625 mg three times daily for 5 days.2. Allegra 60 mg twice daily.3. Apply TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT over the infection site to reduce infection and prednisone ointment on other itchy welts as they will reduce inflammation and swelling.4. Do not scratch the welts to prevent further infection. Hope this information helps.
