I was in california for about 5 days and one day gotten like 20+ bug bites (not sure if spider or mosquito) on my left arm and it is mainly on the backside of my hand. some of them gotten big and popped on their own and started to ooze yellow like liquid for 2 days straight now and they itch and burn everynow and then... What could I do to get rid of it?
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  Mostly its spider bite/crush on your skin... For mosquito bite does not cause discharge . As you are having. This mostly heals with symptomatic treatment. Only.if you scratch it to expose raw area underneath .it gets. Exposed to bacterial infection.  For you.  To relieve pain & itching(due to allergy to saliva of spider) ice pack, pain killers anti-allergic pills over the counter should suffice. . So if you find it taking long time to heal with pus discharge... suspect bacterial infection. You need to add antibiotic to other pills you are already taking . In such case It's advisable to consult your family physician & get the most suitable & effective antibiotic for you (depending on your health & severity of infection. Along with cleaning & Chat Doctor.  Thanks.
