Hi All,
A while back I posted asking for advice on how to relieve chigger bites. This time, I have one on my foot and I'm a little concerned because as diabetics, we have to take care of our feet. I've had it a couple days and today it's at it's height of itchyness, which traditionally, marks the start of it subsiding. It's not an open wound but I still can't resist scratching it. Campho-phenique didn't work at all, and this morning I'm feeling an occassional shooting pain up the back of my calf on the same foot.
Should I be concerned or am I, as usual, over-reacting?
