My son has a bug bite on his outer thigh. The area around has a thin inflamed horizontal section several inches long that he says itches, not really pain. Is this something I should take him to see a doctor for?

I have a gash on my leg and the skin over the wound has turned white. There is no discharge of any kind, but the area surrounding the wound is red. Will this heal on it's own, or is it infected to the point that I need to see a doctor?
