Today I scratched what seemed to be a rather large (not very raised, but large in area) bug bite on my leg (upper thigh). I looked at it, and other than the raised area there was nothing going on -- I didn t remember getting bit, but I assumed it was a bug bite. This evening, I realized that the same area is now sporting a very large, very colorful bruise , and the raised area seems to have left. What might cause this? Could it have been a clot?
Hi. Insect bite hypersensitivity can present as red raised spot which might increase in size over the next 2 days and can sometimes blister. It is usually associated with burning sensation and/or itching and pain. It is usually self resolving, but sometimes patients are in great discomfort, so they need medicines for relief. Painkillers and anti allergic scan be used for symptomatic relief and topical Steroid antibiotic combination ointments/ cream might help in faster resolution of the discomfort and skin condition
