Oh my gosh why - something bit me how can i ease it?

[Makinganewthinghappen]

I went to the park yesterday and i think something must have lunched on my leg - i have two bites behind my knee. Its really sore!

What kind if bite could this be? Any idea? How can I ease the itchiness? I have tried antihistamine cream but it made no difference.

Just to make the day more annoying my daughter got a positive covid test today so i didnt feel like i could go waving my leg at a pharmacist.

I have attached a photo - my leg is really hairy and i couldnt get a really fab photo of the back of my own knee - but if anyone more experienced with these things has any suggestions it would be amazing.

I got bitten on the sofa yesterday and couldn't find my bite cream so have been slathering Savlon on it as it was the only thing I could find. Seems to have soothed it.
How does the hot spoon work? I've never heard of that before.

I've had some bites like this.

A pharmacist recommended Hydrocortisone cream to me. I was a bit sceptical but it did really help. I applied it morning and evening.

A dose of oral antihistamines would also help.

Toothpaste was also quite soothing during the day.
