Something bit me on the top of my foot and it's making me CRAZY

[SoCalDem]

Itches like crazy, and when I scratch it, it burns.. I have succeeded in making it raw, and will probably have to go barefoot until it heals..:grr:. I KNOW better, but I cannot help myself :(..

I have used betadine, alcohol, neosporin, and all I have accomplished is to make a very nasty mess of the tile floor..

there are no obvious welts.. It's boggling my mind:(

1. Maybe you need an anti-histamine? On ordinary insect bites

pure lavender oil works best. I always carry a little bottle of it with me. No more itching after 10 minutes at the most. Also desinfects, also great on light burns!

2. Try a hydrocortisone cream

Or Gold Bond.

3. Solarcaine to the rescue!.....

...it works great on bug bites!...

4. Topical lidocaine

should do the trick.

5. Have you tried amuptating the foot?

:silly:

Seriously, some Benadryl cream, Gold-Bond cream or Lanacane cream will probably do the trick. :hug:
