Insect bites- Redness and itching

2017-06-20 09:13:44
I recently visited HongKong and I guess I was bitten by insects/mosquitoes there. The bites are on my leg and they are red and constantly itching. I have tried Vaseline, aloe vera and Calamine lotion and nothing really helped. This has been the case for the last 4-5 days. Please help

Vaseline and calamine will not help in this. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
