Fire ant bite that won't go away?!
Question: Fire ant bite that won't go away!?
i was bit but a fire ant, but i didn't know the consequences of it so i did not treat it!. i also broke the postule and scratched it, because the itching was undesribable i could not sleep at night!. it's been about 3 or 4 days since i been bit!. It still itches, not as much though and i know you not suppose to itch it so i dont!. also the second day after i got bit i could barely step on my foot (i got bit on the toe) and it was very swollen!. Now i could walk!. But the itch and the mark does not go away!. now it is kind of like a circle with a red mark in the middle!.
I wanted to know if there is any home remedies to help to get rid of it!. I DO NOT HAVE baking soda or bleach or ammonia or onions or alcohol!. i do have dishwashing gel but not liquid!. (those were the thing i heard work) so is there anything that i do have that i could use!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

this is normal the same thing happened to me the bump on my foot went away in about a week or less you can scratch it but not constantly 24/7 and what i used was just soap and water hope this helps you =*)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, getting bit or stung by venomous insects is known to cause a mark that can lasts for an extremely long time, but its usually just a almost non visible red dot left!. I know cause i keep scorpions and have been stung, and still have the little red dots from them!.
Anyways, if its still itching a few days after thats probably just the lingering effects of the venom!. The best thing to do is take benadryl until it subsides (which it will)!. If it gets swollen you can take and put a cold compress on it and that should take care of the swelling to some extent!. If you notice any puss like fluids or funny discolorations/odors/etc, then that is when you need to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic!.
However, you should be completely fine just by getting some benadryl!. It will relieve the itching and redness, within a week you should be back to normal!.
