A member asked:

I have a bug bite on my leg and a weird liquid keeps leaking out and then hardening into a yellowish crust? what is that?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Healing?: If there is no tenderness or pain, it is likely in the process of healing. If the problem persists for more than 2 weeks or worsens, you will need to get it checked out for infection or insect larvae.
