Can I go swimming with an infected insect bite?

Swimming with an open wound, especially in public pools, can increase the risk of infection. It’s best to avoid swimming until the bite is healed.

What is Touchwood Pharmacy's Pharmacy First service for infected insect bites?

This service allows you to receive initial assessment and treatment for mild, infected insect bites directly from the pharmacist, without needing a GP appointment. So you can forget about scrambling for an appointment in Ramsgate or Margate and instead visit Touchwood Pharmacy for quick and easy attention.
