Hi Viv... i have just read your post with interest because for the 1st time ever on Corfu i looked as though my legs from the knee down and my feet had been in a war!
normally i get the odd mossie bite in the usual places, elbows, back of knee...and the odd one on the foot....but this time for some reason i got eaten alive and had large areas of very red skin that didnt respond to antiseptic creams...some of the bites turned into large blisters which ended up bursting and as they healed became a purple colour! they were all very itchy and the large areas were bad at night if they became warmed up....since getting home on Saturday just gone it does seem to be fading somewhat but very itchy at certain times mainly late evening.
my ankles were and are still swollen which is very unusual for me and as sailor made note of ...the skin around the bottom of my calves went very tight although this too is improving.....it would be good to know what caused it so it can be avoided in the future.
Dave.
