In brief: Is it infected?
Without physically examining your insect bite, there is only a medical guess as to what is triggering the weeping.
Is it infected? This would be the 1st concern--addressing the infection is the only solution here. If the weeping is watery clear, then perhaps this is more of an allergic-type reaction that might respond to oral antihistamines such as allegra (fexofenadine). Call md if infected or not better soon.
