See dermatologist: Insect bites can cause swelling and blisters as well as itching. They may also become infected. See Dermatologist for tx which might consist of a potent steroid cream, an antihistamine, and cold water soaks to lessen the oozing , itching, and swelling. Try to avoid any oral antibiotic unless definitely necessary.
