Overview
Infected insect bites, explained.
Most bites cause mild irritation that settles in days. If a bite becomes infected — hot, increasingly red and swollen, or weeping — our pharmacist can assess it and supply antibiotics if needed. Common signs include redness spreading around the bite, swelling and heat, pus or weeping.
