A member asked:
Got a couple of bug bites on the thigh a month ago. took a week to go away. suddenly came back in exactly the same place. what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Staph infection: It is most likely not a bug bite if it is recurrent. There is a world wide epidemic of hard to treat staph skin infections. I would hope you could get in to see your family doctor soon to get eyes on the spots that are bothering you.
