Bug bite infection?
I have a bug bit that's infected I think. It's green in the middle. What should I do other than perioxide, bacitracin, and a bandage?

Hello, Firstly do not bandage if it is infected. You will need oral antibiotics also to control the infection. Please consult a dermatologist who can examine and prescribe medicines accordingly.
