A member asked:
Should i be concerned if the skin around my bug bite is red and looks like a bruise but it is not itchy or painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The bruising is the injury to the tissue this will resolve the surrounding redness must be watched to be sure there is no infection and does not spread. Now a bug bite wound is a set up for an infection so keep the are clean and dry and watch for any spreading If so see your doctor
