Bug / Insect Bites With Allergic Reaction | Hydrocortisone and Benadryl to cure?

Rehoboam

I am in Florida.
I'm not use to a state filled with
lakes and ponds all over, and I surprisingly didn't know
that Florida was like this because I thought it was a state primarily composed of beaches.

With that being said, I have noticed some parts of Florida to be a breeding ground
for mosquitoes, and all other type of tropical and swampy type bugs.

I've seen centipedes to flying insects with what looks like two heads.

(To the point)

I slept out side twice when I first got out here (2 days ago), not by choice either.
And I slept at some restaurant's benches after it closed for
the night.
I woke up and every thing was normal until around 1 or 2 pm
in the afternoon I noticed that I had red lumpy bite mites covering my fingers,
knuckles, hands, and some what even bigger lumpy bite marks on my right arm.

I'm allergic to dust, spiders, milk and certain flowers.

The bites are very red, and extremely itchy.

I really don't know if a spider (which I'm really allergic to) or a mosquito has bitten me?
But I think it may have been a spider, because I kept on walking into spider webs all the night.

My right arm hurts when I extend it fully which the pain feels like a aching sensation which has the most bite marks.

I went to the emergency room and they told me if I was treated at the hospital
it would be $300 dollars.

The doctor still gave me free advise to get Benadryl and Hydrocortisone.

Benadryl for the allergic reaction and Hydrocortisone for the inflammation and swelling bites.

Should I get the Benadrly in liquid or pills so the allergic reaction doesn't affect my insides (i.e. arm and shoulder ahching) and what is the best brand and percent of hhydrocortisone cream that I should buy to rub onto the bite wounds?

Thank you for the long bearing in reading this post, and double thanks for putting time
in for helping me out with advice!!!

Answer
Any type of oral Benedryl will work. You can also use anti-itch creams that have benedryl. Virtually all hydrocortisone creams have the same concentration (1%) - higer amounts require a prescription. The amount of hydrocortiosone that is absorbed by the skin depends partly on how much you are able to rub the cortisone into the skin. Don't just apply it - rub it around for 30 seconds.

Bites that look like small bruises or which have crusty scabs are likely to be caused by blackflies. Get a cheap tent from Walmart, Kmart, etc. if you need to keep sleeping outside.
