Question 1

insect bite on armpit which is red with a bruise around it so do i need to see a doctor or not, its not itchy just painful around the area?

Accepted Answer

: I would see a doctor. Are you sure this was an insect bite?  Did you see the insect?  If so, it would be helpful to know which type of insect bit you. Still, if it’s painful and looks like a bruise, it could be infected. If not due to an insect, some other sort of infection could be causing your symptoms. 
If you develop a fever, arm or neck pain, lymph node swelling, see doctor right away

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Possible: If you have SLE ( systemic lupus erythematosus) then you must know that SLE can affect many different organs and very feequently the skin. The rash of SLE is photosensitive and typically describe as "butterfly rash" on your face, but SLE is known for many other dermatologic manifestations. You should ask your rheumatologist and if in doubt dermatologis can help sometimes with a skin biopsy.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Possible bite.: Depending on how long it has been there, it could still be a bruise, although if it is bright red, it sounds like a broken capillary (small blood vessel) or possibly spider bite. To be sure, you should show his doctor. If there are many of them appearing, you should call his doctor and/or take him to the emergency room ASAP, as that could be a sign of a more serious illness.

Contact sensitivity: May be sensitivity to hygiene product or just irritation to sensitive skin.  Would recommend using only fragrance-free mild soap such as dove and decrease water temperature when bathing.  The rash may be expected to disappear in 5-7days.
