While doing gardening sometimes there is ant bite. This causes reddening of skin and it spreads in a circle and it remains for a day or two. Please suggest how to cure it quickly?

For local skin inflammation, try an anti-itch cream that is at least 1% hydrocortisone. For any bites that may look inflamed, and significantly irritated, you might need to try antibiotic cream. Not the ointment. The ointment can leave an oily residue and the cream does not. Unless showing signs of developing an infection, leave the bite open and uncovered.
