A member asked:
Hi, i have a scratch on the back of my shoulder next to my neck. i don't know how it could be a scratch so could it be some kind of bug bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bites: Bug bites generally don't look like a scratch. They are usually circular, raised and either painful or itchy. If you are in doubt send a picture here or to your doctor. Keep it clean and apply polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin). Make sure you are up to date on your tetanus booster. All the best.
