the size of our smallest toe nail and it is red and it is itching very much!! ouch. I live near Chicago so I hope it cannot be any paratise...anyone can tell me about it? I came from another big city (out of USA) but like NYC or Los Angeles that is full of polution , that means , there is no paratise in the plants (never heard)!!! What can it be? Do I need to see a doctor? What kind of doc should I go in case I need to . TY
Answers:
No you don't need to see a doctor. they could have been chiggers or a spider or even some mosquitos. Just get some 1%hydrocortisone cream and put that on there. you could even put some rubbing alcholol on there that may help with the itching. but just wait it out thats all you can do. don't scratch them b/c they could get infected.
