A member asked:
Why has my mosquito bite turned a purple/black colour and a few veins stand out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruise/infection: watch carefully. May just be bruise from blood under skin but may also be infection from something mosquito brought with it. If you develop fever or redness around bite or increasing tenderness you should probably see someone to rule out infection.
