I got a bug bite 3 days ago but the itchiness and burning sensation hasn't gone down. instead now its purple/dark red and looks like a hickey.

Spider bite?: This may be from a spider bite. If there is no warmth or pus at the site, you may try topical hydrocortisone cream. But if the area gets really inflamed or pusey, an antibiotic may be needed.
