A member asked:
My niece went hiking ~1 1/2 weeks ago and ~2 days later, she came to me with an itchy, red, firm bump on her leg, beside her knee. she then went to a friend's house for a few days and came back with another bump, smaller but same as the last on ankle?

It is likely an insect bite (mosquito or ant) if you can see the puncture point, especially with the first lesion. I hope your area is not infested with tick which can cause Lyme disease. Fortunately, Lyme disease prevalence is low in Ohio.
