What bug bite can cause a red dot with no symptoms at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any: Any insect bite that has red dots associated with it has shown what is called a "local inflammatory reaction" which is the body's normal response to the bite and is likely related to the insect's saliva or mild venom which may or may not be of concern. If the area enlarges over 2-3 days, becomes painful (as opposed to itchy), starts to ooze, it may have become infected. If so, seek care.
