- During the stabbing reaction, there is clear, unpleasant pain at the site of exposure, later also itching. Quaddle formation with a central mostly hemorrhagic point at the puncture site. Blistering is not uncommon ( Culicosis bullosa). Rarely a large-area succulent infiltrate, extending beyond the actual site of exposure, up to palm-sized (rarely larger).
- Some people react to insect bites with long-lasting, highly itchy granulomas. Such observations are often made after holidays in warm climates (e.g. subtropics or tropics).
TherapyThis section has been translated automatically.
