Itchy bites only on my legs and feet

Posted by Ali on July 10, 2004 at 09:34:17:

I need someone's advice. I woke up about four days ago with an intense itch on my top of my feet and legs. I realized I had been scratching them to a point were I broke the skin. I thought these to be the worst mosquitos ever. The funny thing is that I did not have them before I went to bed.

Then I said to my self the bites are pretty bit, red, swollen and itch like crazy. The itching still has not stopped.

Today my four year old daughter woke up with 8 bites on her legs. She said the itch so bad. They look like my bites.

They are only on our legs and top of feet. Does anyone know what these could be and how to treat them. Is there a cure to stop the itching, regular calamine and over the counter ointments (cortaide, and aveeno) are not working. Our town is small and our doctor closed the office for a week, so I appreciate any home advice.
