[|Human|] I have several bug bites on my legs and feet where some have swelled to the point where you can see a large lump and they also have a large patch of redness around them. Also, 2 bites on the outer part of my left foot have a red rash extending onto the top of my foot and when touched, it feels like a bunch of little needles pricking me. What can I do to reduce swelling, itch and redness?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with your query I have gone through your question. You had a bug bite and now facing with painful swelling of lower limb. To reduce swelling you need to apply ice, keep it elevated and have rest. For pain, you can take ibuprofen, apply some steroid ointment. Keep the skin clean to prevent any secondary infections.  In case the swelling is not settling in 2-3 days, there are skin changes like blackish discoloration, blister formation or increase in severity of pain. You need to consult nearby medical facility ASAP. I hope my answer will help. Do rate it, if you like it. Regards
