[Closed] Any docs/insect bite specialists around?

Hi,

About 10 weeks ago I picked up 9 bites on my lower right leg - I *think* it may have happened while I was taming my back garden.
They itched like crazy for about 6 weeks. I am quite reactive to midge bites and usually take benadryl to calm those but it didn't touch these bites. First trip to docs after about 2 weeks and I swapped to Piriton - not much better but when I took them with Benadryl it helped a bit. Went back a couple weeks later and this doc prescribed Fucibet cream. No improvement straight away but eventually, after about 2 more weeks they started to calm down.

Now, about 10 weeks on, individual bites keep flaring up and getting all itchy and swollen again.
I was at the docs today for an unrelated matter and mentioned these persistant bites to her and she's decided to book me in for fasting blood tests to check I'm not diabetic given the slow healing of the bites.
I tried to explain I've had various cuts, scrapes and zits throughout all this time that have healed up just fine but she didn't seem to get my point - I am quite happy to get the blood tests to eliminate that (hopefully, anyway) but my question is (TFFT you say) does anyone have any idea what insects found in the Uk in September might cause bites that react like this?

I don't think it was a radioactive spider 'cos I still can't climb for toffee...

Thanks, STW hive mind. 🙂
