Hi there...I can understand your concern. If it's just a simple ant or insect bite, then just apply an emollient, that is , moisturising cream. But if it's because of a bacterial infection or scabies infection, then emollient creams won't help. It will need specific treatment. So kindly consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
