What is it?
Infected insect bites occur when bacteria enter the skin through a bite caused by mosquitoes, ants, fleas, or other insects. In children, this can lead to increased redness, swelling, pain, warmth, pus formation, or crusting around the bite area. Scratching the bite due to itching increases the risk of infection and can cause the infection to spread to surrounding skin.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on controlling infection, reducing inflammation, and relieving discomfort. The dermatologist examines the bite area to assess the extent of infection. Treatment may include topical or oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and soothing creams to reduce itching. Parents are also guided on wound care and ways to prevent scratching.
