A member asked:

Had 3 bug bites 2 months ago. formed a hard welt on one bite. all 3 continue to really itch. one scabbed. how to get rid of?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

But bites: The firm mass at one bite site may be a small blood clot(hematoma) from bleeding under the skin which occurred at the time of the bite. As long as these bite sites are not hot and reddened no secondary infection is likely and you can apply a cortisone type ointment to relieve itching. The hematoma may very slowly resolve.
