A member asked:
My daughter is allergic to ins3ct bites and initially i thought she was bitten by a mosquito but this morning her eye was also swollen and the 'bite' is almost a black colour and there is yellowish fluid coming from the bite mark?

Insect bite ?'s: Some insect types have an anticoagulant injected at the site of the bite, which can cause bruising ("dark color"). The bite itself will generate both swelling and a fluid discharge. Spider bites can produce what is described. See a pediatrician to make certain about how to treat this injury.

Exam needed: You don't mention where the bite is (?near eye) or how old it is. Drainage sounds like pus. She should be examined by her pediatrician as antibiotics and antihistamine medication may be indicated.
