Insect Bite

2018-07-17 05:06:02
I have got insect bite on my neck. It came with burning sensation and a lot of itching. I applied some homeopathic ointment to sooth it down. Seeing no relief applied some Neem paste (homemade). Doing so I believe I touched my face, so it spilled over to under nose as well. Consulting a doctor he gave Caladryl Lotion + anti alergic + B complex tab. It is not yet drying. Can I use Neosporin powder to make it dry out? As it is on face too, looking for immediate relief. Plz suggest,
