Bug Bite Change: Since you did not describe the change it is difficult to answer specifically. However, any changes in the skin tissue at the site of the bite should be taken seriously and seen by a physician promptly. Bug bites are increasingly seen causing disease such as West Nile virus. Early assessment and treatment can help prevent long term complications.
