I have a bug bite that hurts to touch it red all around it started out like a mosquito bite but now its bigger what could it be?

Insect bite: Your bite may have been caused by one of the venomous insects like a bee, wasp or hornet.. Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and then apply half percent hydrocortisone
