I have been bitten by an insect 3 days ago. The symptoms are Redness, burning sensation, too many small pus formations, slight itching. I have not been able to identify the insect. I have been prescribed Calamine lotion by physician but, the condition has not improved. Please help me. I would be very grateful to you.
