Warm to the touch swollen bug bites?

Normal: If it gets larger, more swollen and redder you may have a secondary infection and need to be seen for treatment.

Abscess: If you have pus or an abscess these are staph infections. Not bug bites. It is extremely unwise to be just sitting at home when we are in the middle if a staph epidemic. Please seek medical care today if there is pus in the lesions.
