Hello Dr. O or H.A. readers,
Our new geldings seems to be quite sensitive to fly bites. He has numerous small swellings or hives on his sides and neck. They don't seem to be oozing or itchy to him, but just wondered if there was a topical remedy for this. Would a cordizone cream be helpful to reduce the swelling?

Hello Denise
It should help if they are allergic reactions. Reactions to insect bites will be a little less responsive but it should help some.
