Insect Bite Treatment in Phuket
Mosquitoes, sandflies, centipedes, the occasional scorpion — Phuket’s insects leave their mark. We treat infected bites and allergic reactions fast, and check fevers for mosquito-borne disease.
How We Treat It
- Assessment of bites, stings and reactions
- Antihistamines and steroid treatment for swelling
- Antibiotics for infected bites
- Pain management for centipede and scorpion stings
- Dengue testing when fever follows mosquito bites
When to See a Doctor
Scratched bites infect quickly in the tropics — spreading redness, warmth and pus mean it is time for treatment, not more antiseptic cream. Sandfly bites around the ankles are notorious for this.
Centipede bites hurt far more than they harm; strong pain relief and a tetanus check are the mainstays. Any fever within two weeks of mosquito bites deserves a dengue test — it is one rapid test and one hour of your day.

When should a bite worry me?
Spreading redness, increasing pain after 24 hours, pus, red streaks, or fever. Any of those — come in.
How do I stop getting eaten alive?
DEET or picaridin repellent (reapplied after swimming), long sleeves at dawn and dusk, and a fan or air-con at night — mosquitoes are weak flyers.
