I've a persistent insect bite reaction on face.bites are still red.dr.prescribed me antihist&corticost.cream.do these bites'll leave any pigme.or scar?

Scar: Usually left alone, simple bites don't scar. If you scratch and or pick at them or if they become infected then your risk of developing a scar increases dramatically. As the area is healing it is important to reduce sun exposure to the area (avoidance and/or sunscreen).
