Bug Bite !?
Posted: 07-17-07 13:50pm

okay, so i have this bug bite. it started out looking like a regular mosquito bite, then when i itched it it got very large. you can still kind of see the original bite area, but theres a larger slightly reddish area about the size of a grapefruit surrounding it, and it is swollen and slightly hard. this is the second time this has happened. the first time i got two of these bites on my forearm... they protrude so it looked like i had two lumps on my arm. what are these? am i allergic to some type of bite? i dont think i had any other symptoms... maybe a headache but not enough to really notice!

hmm..
wow that sounds like some bite..
it sounds like you should probably see a dr. about it..
personally, when something itches on me i use an itch cream to get rid of it b/c if i don't i scratch until my whole area is a sore..
but yeah that sounds like something you should see a dr. about
