itchy painful bug bites lasting for almost 2 months post menopausal syndrome

65 year old female patient came to my office because of post menopausal symptoms
such as hot flashes day and night and sweating at night resulting in poor sleep quality
she also experiences itchiness and moderate pain due to bug bites (mosquitoes and flies) which she believes she got them when she went to a beach about 2 months ago. they are purplish red and approx 0.25~0.75 inches in diameter.

other signs and symptoms

BMI 28
abdominal bloating after meals or certain food such as dairy
no palpitation no dream
fatigue
red complexion
watery eyes
frequent urination

treatment

all needles were needled on her right side and retained for 15 min this formula is often used for post menopausal syndrome symptoms. after this treatment the color of the bug bites became lighter and itchiness and pain diminished.

normally for post menopausal syndrome symptoms improve in 3~8 visits.
