What can i do to cure an insect bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: Since i cannot see what your skin looks like after the insect bite i cannot give you adequate advice. If the skin is open you should clean it with saline and apply vaseline or aquaphor.If the skin is not open just be patient and any discoloration from the bug bite will fade slowly especially if it is on the lower legs.
