What could be causing cramping of calves . i have a bug bite on my calf that i scratched and it looked infected. could that be a cause? it's been going on for 2 days? only happens at bed time?

clean the area with soap and water and apply local ointment. This is not the cause of your cramps. be well hydrated. Let the area heal and if you still have cramps see your MD. I think you will be OK
