Question
The bite site has been present for some time, are the test results showing any abnormalities? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment, and how should I properly handle it?
Answer
If there are obvious signs of infection at the bite site, apply an anti-inflammatory ointment like Baiduyang to the affected area. If the infection is severe, seek medical attention immediately to prevent the condition from worsening. Avoid excessive scratching as it can easily lead to infection and also stimulate the leakage of skin tissue fluid and lymph, exacerbating regional redness and swelling, making it more itchy. Especially for allergic skin, scratching may worsen symptoms, leading to large areas of redness. It is recommended to pay special attention to personal hygiene to avoid infection.
