Starburst Shaped Bug Bite Posted: 07-24-07 09:38am


I have two bites on my back that are not particularly painful or itchy, there is only one puncture hole, but there are 'trails' of redness splaying out from the bite, like with a 'starburst' pattern. The Doctor said it's no biggie but I am very curious as to what kind of bug could cause this type of pattern. Can anyone help? Thanks, beth
