A member asked:
I (m/19) had a mosquito bite or hive bump about five years ago and about every year the area will swell up again. what is the cause of this, and should i be concerned?

This is why it's important to have a GP that you see at least yearly to establish a base line and a background for comparison. "Serious" can only be determined after examination, possible lab tests, possible imaging, especially if it can be examined in the light of previously collected data. If you have a GP go see him/her. If not, find one. Or 2nd choice go to Urgent Care.
