Pest control: Sounds like you have a pest infestation problem that can lead to multiple health problems, incl. but not limited to, cellulitis (subcutaneous skin infection). After calling pest control, call your doctor and schedule a physical exam to determine if you need further treatment. Good luck!

Question 2

i think i got bit by a bug or something. there was a small blackish bump on my leg but now its a big clear bubble probably with pus. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Clean the: area with plenty of warm water and a mild skin soap. Apply moist heat.  As long as you are certain this is not a tick bite (with the insect still attached) this should be anough. Any FEVER, RASH, or red streaking up the leg  requires an in person visit to a Health Care Provider.

Hope this is helpful
