Stupid bug bites; I'm having a localised allergic reaction to them.  The skin for a cm or two around them is red and hard, and there's an area of more modestly inflamed skin about the size of the palm of my hands around each of them.  I also felt a little sting near my jawline when I was in the garden about an hour ago, and I'm hoping that my face won't be the next thing to swell up.

 Do you have any cortisone cream or anything else you can use to reduce the swellings?   :orly:

I've been applying hydrocortisone cream, but I don't know if it's doing much good. 

Do you have any antihistamine like Benadryl?

I have some cetirizine, and I'll give it a go.

May depend on the bug that bit you. Do you have this reaction with all bites?
If you have been bitten by a kind of horsefly, it may be a small infection that bothers you. They almost always bring dirt in the wound. Disinfecting will be of more help than anti-histamines in that case.

My oldest had reactions on one kind of striped mosquito, couple of years ago. The GP advised dabbing the places with an povidone-iodine tincture. Worked well for her then.

I haven't reacted before to midge bites, ticks, wasp stings or dog bites, but I think this is the first time I've been bitten by horseflies.  I'm constantly getting thorns lodged under my skin and soil, dirty pond water and other nasty things rubbed into wounds on my hands and arms without it bothering me, so I don't think it's due to dirt in the wound.

Horseflies are carriers of germs. Their bites are so bad because of that. That's the kind of dirt I meant.

Since I read about that, I keep a horsefly-bite disinfected, if I get one, and it makes a big difference in the reaction I get on it.

I know that you meant germs, but thorns, soil and dirty pond water are also loaded with them, and I don't usually bother to disinfect my wounds besides rinsing the obvious dirt out of them, however I rubbed some antiseptic into the bites in case it helps.

I hardly ever have problems with scratches, thorns etc. Only seldom does that lead to infection. Horsefly bites almost always leads to infection with me. Probably because the horsefly bites other critters who host germs that can feast on us too.

If you think that's pricey, try keeping a horse.   :zombiefuck:  :zombiefuck:

 It's OK, neither do I!  We'll just muddle through somehow!  Keep calm and carry on!  :viking:

What's scary is that we've had our computer for about 16 months and I just learned that Prince Albert didn't know you could maximize videos.  He'd been watching them in a small window.  "That's why we got a large monitor, love.  Because you can't see and, oh, never mind.  I still love you.  Just do this and then this..."

Why don't you just run in and turn the hot water faucet off?  It would be torture and he might get out of there quickly.

I've been awake for 20 minutes and I'm already regretting it.  I was vaguely aware of clenching my teeth while I was waking up, and the clenching set off one of the tooth-nerve headaches I've been having lately.  I also spilled some freshly boiled water down the side of my foot and mildly burned my ankle.

 Here in the States, you can go to a drugstore and buy a bite guard to wear in your mouth when you sleep.
 If you can get something similar where you are, it might be helpful to use till you can see a dentist.   :orly:

I have a bite guard somewhere, probably in one of the boxes up in the loft where it would be difficult to find.  I'll ask mum if she's seen it around; she's always good at finding things.

 Oh, good, I hope you find it.  I should wear one myself.  :chin:
