I thought i had a stye but now i think its a bite. the swelling has started to come down but its quite itchy and a bit purple. should i see a doctor?

Likey: Could still be a stye but it could also be infected. Would continue with warm compresses to the area and gentile massage but likely you will need someone to look at it.
