Yellow Fly Bites! I'm allergic....any remedies?

I believe puss is a symptom of an infection.

If you have been scratching it like crazy, it spreads it all around under the skin and then it can become infected, resulting in disgusting pus. I got bit in 4 places in one day and it was horrible. I used Extra Strength Benedryl Antihistamine with Lidocaine numbing spray on and off all day and even then I still could not resist a little bit of scratching. My bites turned into silver dollar and larger sized red blotches. I don't think cortisol is helping anything. When you first get bit you need anti-itch which means a LOT of lidocaine. If you are infected already, you need hydrogen peroxide and then a topical antibacterial ointment.

Lots of the little yellow buggers around - seems like more than ever.

Cutter backyard spray works wonders.

I have now gotten two yellow fly bites in the last week. I must be allergic to these bugs. First I was bit on my ankle and my whole foot was swollen for several days and just when that bite cleared up I was bitten yesterday on my calf. These bites are itchy and my leg is swollen and it's real tight to the point it's very uncomfortable when I walk. Anyone have any remedies, or ways to avoid these bites. Ahhhhhh!

I used a clay sulfer face mask ( that happened to be the proactive brand ) on the bite overnight, with a bandaid over it to keep it on there. The next day the bite was nearly disappeared.
