Bug bites that causes red bruising with a white dot in the middle, what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Bug bites that result in red bruising with a white dot in the middle could be due to fire ant bites (but not common in NYC). Or could be due to infection (an abscess). Usually the white dot that you describe indicates pus that needs to be drained. Please see your primary care provider.
