infected insect bite treatment in Manchester

What are Infected Insect Bites?

Insect bites are common and often harmless, but in some cases, they can become infected. An infected insect bite occurs when bacteria enter the skin following a bite or sting, leading to redness, swelling, pain and sometimes discharge. Prompt assessment is important to prevent the infection from spreading.

At Whitemoss Pharmacy in Blackley, Manchester, we provide quick and effective treatment for infected insect bites through the NHS Pharmacy First service. This means you can be assessed and treated without needing to see your GP.

Symptoms:

  • Redness, warmth or swelling around the bite
  • Pain or tenderness at the site
  • Pus or discharge
  • Increasing redness spreading from the bite
  • Itching or irritation that worsens over time
  • Feeling unwell or fever (in more severe cases)
