Insect bite!

I was bitten a week or so ago and it is still itchy and bruised. It’s responding well to Savlon. It seems to get ‘better’ and then flare up again. Do I ride it out or do I need to see a doctor? And how do you even SEE a doctor if you don’t go to the surgery?!

I would ring your gp, they will do a telephone consultation with you then decide if you need to be seen.

My GP practice are offering telephone or video consults and you can do an online form with a photo attached. I think you do need to speak with a GP about that. Is it hot to touch?
