Yesterday i got bit by something and it was burning and looked like a mosquito bite but today it's itchy and almost looks like a hickey?

What's the question?: I would however presume that you want some answer on the Rx. Topical hydrocortisone would be the best best if the skin is not open. As for the type of insect, there is no way to tell for sure .
