I got 3 mosquito bites on my leg 2 days ago and they all have bruises around them now. it's never happened b4 is this something to be concerned about?

Mosquito borne dis. : If you are in the usa, think about west nile virus. If outside america then worry about malaria & dengue fever. West nile virus mostly asymptomatic but can cause meningitis or encephalitis. Malaria & dengue serious. Please see your doctor & get antimalarial medication. There is no antiviral for west nile virus. Thanks.
