Had an insect bite i think on my ankle, and i have been scratching it without realising but skin in area has gone brownish, only a small bit.... is that natural for itching a bite. or is it not a insect bite. started as a tiny red dot. but i thought?

Can’t (of course) tell without seeing but “sounds like” it. If it BEGINS to resolve over 5-10 days, nothing more need be done. If it persists beyond that, see your doctor. Meantime, keep the area clean (soap and water works best) and lightly covered (with a Bandaid)
