A member asked:

Yesterday i went walking in the woods. i got a lot of mosquito bits on my legs that started itching right away. when i got home i noticed a big red spot in the center of my forehead (size of a quarter). it didn't inch or anything but i treated it like it

Mosquito Bites: Treat it like it's a mosquito bite for now (since that's most likely), but if you notice that is becomes painful or getting bigger, it may be an abscess that will need to be treated by a doctor. Good luck!
