Insect bite: Were you able to identify what bit you? Few bites require medical attention. If it was a black widow spider or a scorpion, it will require medical attention. Otherwise, use an ice pack to reduce the inflammation and itch. Apply calamine or other anti-itch lotion and keep the area clean and dry. If you see spreading redness outward from the bite site, you may need to see a Dr.
