A member asked:

A bug bites me when i was on beac, after 1 day my arm got so big around that area that the bug bites, no pain, no blister, just itching, what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bug bites: Some insects can cause a venomous bite, meaning it can cause redness and swelling and itching. If it is really bad you should have it checked out to make sure you do not have cellulitis and if needed the doc can prescribe antibiotics. Meanwhile you can try some over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl (diphenhydramine).
