I have what was definitely an insect bite on my thigh. it's red around it and very warm to the touch. is this infected or just the bite?

Uncertain: If the problem is spreading and or with pus, I would suspect an infection with spider bite being the strongest suspect. May need to see your doctor to get treated.
