ITCHNESS AND SWELLING DUE TO INSECT BITES

30 yr old male patient cc itchness due to insect bites for 2 days (right foot near kd 6 area)

the affected area looks red and slightly swollen (about 2 inch in diameter)

TX kd 10 + (about 30% better)

Lu 10 - almost no change. then 20 min later swelling looked about 30% less.

next day patient said there was no more improvement.

textbook says itchness is due to heat. another text says to reduce sp3.

perhaps (based on sp 3 -) idea one should reduce HT which is sp3 - kd 10 + HT 3 +

then see if it works better.
