Insect Bite with lots of boils/rashes
I had a few insect bites (really small black ones that can jump or fly) a week back. Consulted a doctor and started taking allergy medicines.
But the boils/rashes don't seem to be reducing. There are new ones all over my leg everyday.
I'm from Bangalore and not sure if this is an insect native to her. Which doctor should I show to? General or dermatology?

Are your legs properly covered with trousers or you are wearing half pants or three fourths. If these are only on exposed parts of body including arm, forearms, neck etc, then only insect bites can be considered, otherwise some other intrinsic cause may also be there. You should give complete picture about the distribution of rashes or boils whatever you call them. Better consult directly with pictures of this problem.
