My mom thinks she was bit by an insect (spider maybe?) on her thigh some time around July 17 (she lives in Los Angeles, CA). Within 24 hrs, her symptoms included: extreme heat, redness, swelling, and itchy. She was unable to locate a bite, but put rubbing alcohol all over the area. Ever since then, she experiences a crawling sensation, as if bugs going up her leg, followed by extreme itchiness. She said at times the itchiness has been so severe that she has been unable to sleep all night. The itching affects the entire thigh. Her Dr. prescribed hydrocortizone and keeps telling her it's an allergy. Another Dr. told her it was related to her pre-Diabetes. Please help, we are getting pretty worried.
Thank you.
