To treat deer fly bites, clean the affected area with soap and water. You can apply ice to the area to treat pain. You can also take allergy medicine like diphenhydramine (benadryl) to reduce itching, which can prevent secondary infection.
The most common type of eczema, this condition causes small red bumps, often on the hands, that can be quite itchy. If what appears to be pimples on your hand start to spread, itch and flake, you could be dealing with atopic dermatitis.

Refrain from scratching the bite or sting area because this may cause the skin to break down and an infection to form. Intermittent cold packs or ice may reduce swelling. You may treat itching at the site of the bite with an over-the-counter antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in cream or pill form
Scratching causes very superficial layer of the skin to cracking and when it starts healing the colour changes because of the damage to the normal healthy skin.
