Got bit or stung, places are size of quarter & bright red. & warm and sore. one has a brown dot in the middle. ?

Insect bite/sting: If it is warm and tender, the insect bite has most likely become infected. This will need an antibiotic. The brown dot in the middle is probably a remnant of the stinger, which introduced the bacterial germs in under the skin. See a doctor.
