I have 4 insect bites that have caused my ankle to swell, sting, are oozing. i've taken benedryl and applied cortaid (hydrocortisone) w no change. what should i do?

Likely superficial : infection from scratching. If persists, see a dermatologist.... wear socks at night so you don't scratch while asleep.

Insect bites: Your insect bites may have become infected. See your doctor for possible treatment

Insect bites: If severe enough, go to ER, especially if there is increasing swelling, difficulty breathing, tongue swelling, rapid red streaking up the leg. Also, elevate and ice with rest.
