Q: got bitten by something a week ago, not itchy now but still red is this normal?

: Yes, this can be normal, depending on what bit you and where the bite is. If it doesn't resolve in a couple of weeks, or if the redness or swelling or pain increases, you have a fever, or you develop a ring around the center red spot, please have it examined.
