I got this bug bite, who to see for suggestions as to what kind of bug bit me?

Usually not: Worth the expense to find out unless you were traveling in an area with unusual insect-borne diseases. Just watch for local skin infection, swollen lymph modes, bull's eye rash and fever. Oh and don't forget to use insect repellant!
