How bad is it? And what kind of bugs?

I’d suggest Benadryl spray (topical, not the antihistamine stuff which might also help if it’s everywhere…but not sure.)

Also some moisturizing lotion should help, as well as simply not scratching it

There's a cluster of three mosquito bites on my left ankle. 😑

Cream/spray and then stick bandaids all over the bites. I have to, or I’ll keep picking at them. Why yes, it does look like I just ran face first into a thorn bush.
