A member asked:

7 weeks ago i was bit by a mosquito and since then i have a light brown/yellow spot looks like a bruise. is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ans: Well most likely you scratched this bite and injured the soft tissue. Give it a few more days and do not touch or traumatize the area
