A member asked:
I can't stop scratching insect bites and these always cause me wounds. they heal quickly but they leave dark scars. what medicines can i apply or take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or: cover with Neosporin and a bandaid. Distract yourself from scratching. Once they are scratched vitamin E or Me derm may help. Avoid touching as scratching makes it worse. All the best.
