A member asked:

Got bit by a flea a couple of days ago and the bite is still there but surrounded by a redish-purplish patch like a bruise, could it be from scatching?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flea bite: Yes, it could be from scratching the area but it could also be from the bite itself that cause a small bleeding in the wound and the blood is now clotted.
