Insect bites.....maybe flea bites

2017-05-16 06:28:03
About a week ago I got bit by a lot of ticks. the swelling went down a lot but I can tell I got like around 57 bites on my right arm. my skin's also darker around the bites. how do I get these bites to disappear and is there anything I need to do to treat it other than taking antihistamine nd putting on hydrocortisone

Hydrocortisone cream is very mild. May not work for the swelling in case of insect bite. Consult me in private chat with photos for prescription.
