Brief Answer:
Monitor only and this should regress spontaneously!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this bite. Looks like a mosquito(insect bite). This is not unlikely and resolution is often spontaneous. If itches are too intense, apply small quantities of beclomethasone skin cream and that would be fine. There is no reason to be too disturbed about this as time is the only limiting factor.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
