Some thoughts...: A bug bite is usually ok if it looks like a typical small (1/4 to 1 inch wide) mosquito or flea bite. If there is a lot of swelling, a doctor should check to see if it is just an allergic reaction or is actually infected. If the bite area has stuff oozing out of it, or if the area is painful, one should see a doctor to examine for infection. If spots are purple, they could be blood spots.

Visual DX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
