Itchiness post leech bite
I had gone trekking 2 months ago and was bitten by a leech there. It was stuck for not more than a couple of minutes and had just started sucking the blood. The wound has now healed leaving behind a tiny bump (picture attached) however it itches sometimes. Is there something that can be done for it?

I would advise you to visit a dermatologist so that you can be examined and treated accordingly. You will require an antihistamine and a topical antiseptic cream as of now. If the condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest.
