A member asked:
When my little sister gets bitten by an insect her whole body gets infected, is that because of sensitive skin? what should she do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insect bites: Everyone is affected differently by insect bites, such as mosquitos. Some have little if any reaction. Others have strong reactions resulting in severe itching, redness and swelling. Basically, it is an allergic response to the insect products that are introduced into the skin from the bite.
