Buy Infected Insect Bite Treatment & Medication Online

You can use steroid creams like Hydrocortisone and antihistamines like Levocetirizine together as they work differently. Antihistamines work internally to reduce your body’s reaction, while steroid creams calm irritation on the skin.

Hydrocortisone can be used for short periods on the face, but stronger steroid creams like Eumovate are not recommended for use on the face or other sensitive areas unless advised by a healthcare professional. Fucidin should also be used with caution on delicate areas. Always follow the instructions provided or speak to our pharmacy team if you’re unsure.

With professional advice and effective treatment, most infected bites improve within a few days. If there’s no improvement after 3-5 days, or if symptoms worsen, speak to your GP or pharmacist as you may need a different treatment.

If the redness or swelling keeps spreading, or you notice red streaks radiating from the bite, it could be a sign of cellulitis or an allergic reaction. It’s important to get expert advice quickly to avoid complications and make sure you get the right treatment.

When treating infected skin, it is important to keep the bite area clean and dry. If the area is weeping or at risk of further irritation, you can use a clean, loose dressing. This helps support treatment for infected insect bites and prevents the bite from getting worse.

In the UK, midges, mosquitoes, horseflies, fleas and bedbugs are the usual culprits. Infection is more likely if bacteria enter the skin after scratching the bite.

Bed bug bites often appear in lines or clusters and can be very itchy. They don’t usually become infected unless scratched.

For most people, antihistamine tablets like Clarityn and a steroid cream like Betamethasone are enough to calm the itching and inflammation. If the skin is broken or looks infected (red, swollen, or oozing), you may need an antibiotic cream like Fucidin to treat the infection.

Most tick bites are harmless, but you should remove the tick as soon as possible using a proper tick removal tool or fine-tipped tweezers.

After removal, clean the area and watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. If the bite becomes infected, treatments like Fucidin cream or antiseptic creams like Germolene may help clear it up.

If you develop a circular red rash around the bite (sometimes called a “bull’s-eye” rash) or flu-like symptoms in the weeks afterwards, speak to your doctor or pharmacist. This could be a sign of Lyme disease, and you may need antibiotics.
