A member asked:
Can a mosquito bite cause a bruise? used rubbing alcohol for the itch and after work noticed round bruise discoloration around bite? never had before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This can happen from time to time, especially if the bite area is massaged or scratched due to itching. It isn't harmful and doesn't indicate any sort of serious health problem, unless part of a generalized increase in ease of bruising or bleeding.
