I went to a friend's house a couple of days ago, and I got bit by some kind of bug, and now I have a bunch of bites around my ankles and lower legs that seems to be turning into a rash. It itches SO bad. What can I put on this rashlike thing to make it stop itching, because Im lacking sleep at night froom this!

First and formost I advise you to go see a doctor immediately! It could be anything and if you wait it off it could get worst! Try soothing it with lotion, cream, bug bite after bite creams, a nice foot massage or foot spa.

Benadryl.. it takes away the itch.. and also solarcane.. its usually used for sunburns, but it takes away the itch and sometimes the redness.. if the symtoms of a rash persist you need to see a doctor tho... if its a bug bite, keep an eye on it for about a week and a half and if it doesnt start going away get it checked out... it may not ahve been a bug, but some sort of poision ivy/oak or somethin... but from the way it sounds... it sounds like ant bites (if you live in the south) or mosqitos... just make sure you wear bug spray next time!! lol

I had the same thing happen very recently. You're almost certainly having an allergic reaction to the bites, and that can be serious. It shouldn't be life-threating, but you need to see a doctor and a dermatologist. They'll probably give you a steroid-based ointment to put on the rash, which should clear it up in a few days.
If the reaction is VERY serious, they might give you prednisone. But that has some possible side effects, so they'll avoid that if they can.
In any case, don't wait - call your doctor right away.

Calimine Lotion. You can get it at drug stores I guess. But that only stops it from itching. If it keeps bothering you tell your mom!
Hope i helped!
