Ant bite on toe - no blister formed - red & swollen

Question

I get ant bites frequently as I live in the country. A blister forms, I prick it and apply neosporin, and it heals quickly. This time, it was a very small brown ant. No blister formed, but my toe is now swollen, red, and hurts a lot. I used hyd peroxide, soaked in epsom salts, and put ichthamol on it to draw out the infection (3 days now). So far, nothing I've done has helped. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Warm compresses would help bring the bite to a head, and then you could carry out your normal treatment routine. Cover your toe with a warm damp washcloth for 10 minutes at a time. The more frequently you do that, the quicker the bite will come to a head. Keep doing the Epsom baths as well, that will aid the process.
