I have what looks like a bug bite. that has been there for 3 weeks now. its sensitive. what could it be?

Infected?: You need to see a doctor about this. It remains sensitive after 3 weeks, it may have become infection. Rarely some elements of the insect might have been left in the skin causing chronic irritation.
