A member asked:
I have an infected bug bite. i am on two different anti biotics and the redness was my doctors main concern. the redness is going down but the bite is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infected bug bite: Try moist heat to the infected area with a wet washcloth as hot as you can stand it covered with plastic wrap to hold in the heat and changed when it cools. Be sure to continue and complete all of your antibiotics and follow up with your doctor if it seems to be getting worse, instead of better.
