Bug bite?? That keeps coming back!
So about 8 months ago I was helping my mom move out to her new place out in the hill country.
Well that night when I jumped in the shower I noticed that there was what looked like normal bug bites on both my leg and foot. (figured it would go away after a while).
A couple days went by and both the bites started to get bigger and itchier. They were hot to the touch so figured the best thing to do was to take out whatever fluid was in the bite and clean it out with hydrogen peroxide.
So put a couple of hot towels on them to see if anything would happen. Honestly think it made it worse both bites started to form tiny blisters, like spots of clear puss around the middle of the bites. And the bites wouldn't stop leaking this clear puss. After a few days of this figured id see a dermatologist because the the little blisters kept spreading they prescribed a couple different cremes and even prescribed oral anti-fungal medication that I was to take for 20 days. After 20 days they both started to dry but not before another "bite welt" formed underneath the original bite on my leg.
In between that time and now I have had the bite on my foot come back almost every month which has left a nasty scar on the top of my foot. But what is now more concerning is that I'm having the same symptoms but on my other leg, foot and even back.
They start off as what looks like bug bites then they start forming little blisters .
Please if anyone has had a similar situation and has found a solution for this please message me or if you know what it could be please let me know.
Don't know if this helps but I was diagnosed with HSV-2 about a year ago; not allergic to any medication that I am aware of. The first week of my symptoms I did come down with a fever.

I know this is an old forum, but in case anyone else has the same problem with any bug bites whatsoever, a black drawing salve is the best natural remedy you will ever find. It draws out any impurities from your skin, including bug venom and splinters! I had a few strange bites that wouldn't go away, but three of them have finally disappeared, leaving one that itched, scabbed over and resurfaced for 4 months straight. It literally stopped itching and began to heal after the second application of this salve. You can find it already made, or you can follow this DIY recipe to make your own. It's really easy, just make sure to get all the supplies before starting.
BLACK DRAWING SALVE
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp beeswax
15 caps (3 tsp) activated charcoal
3 tsp bentonite clay
15 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops tea tree essential oil
5 drops chamomile essential oil
DIRECTIONS:
Fill a medium sized pot 1/2 way full with water. Place a glass pyrex bowl in the water. Turn the stove to medium heat. Add coconut oil and beeswax and allow to melt slowly. Remove from heat and add clay and activated charcoal. Hint: It took me a bit too long to pull apart 15 capsule of activated charcoal-by the time I got them added I needed to put my mixture back on the stove to melt it again. It would be an extra bowl to clean but it would be better to have your charcoal ready to go before you pull you mixture off the heat. Add essential oils and stir. Pour into a glass container and allow to cool, periodically stirring so the activated charcoal doesn’t sink to the bottom.
TO USE:
Apply a small amount to cuts, bug bites, splinters or blemishes. Cover with a bandage. Leave on as long as you can. Reapply twice daily.
Best of luck!

Hi, I had something like a little baby after bathing in the lake. I got an infection that spread with blood. I had the blisters and the wet wounds. I received the pills an oral and yellow smell of ointment. Everything was cured.
Which country was this happening in?

Same issue and it happened in NYC for me. Something from the soil of a palm tree I bought
Okay I don't want to scare you at all but I was reading online about a girl who had "bug bites" on her legs like you and they kept coming back and never healing. She then went to see a dermatologist and later was diagnosed with skin cancer. Please I know your in New York, and Americans don't have free health care, but it's worth another solid opinion to rule out that possiblity. If however you know for fact that they are bug bites because of the environment your in then only you would know what's best for you. Cheers .
