Bitten By Insect On Thigh, Itchiness, Dry Bumps, Red Outer Ring, Bruise Like Appearance. Treatment?
About a month ago, I thought I got bit by a bug on my inner thigh. It was itchy and the size of a nickle. Now its larger than my hand and the middle part has bumps (dry) but the outer ring of the bit is red. Somedays it looks like a bruise , I guess from all the scratching . What could this be? My insurance doesn t kick in until 2 weeks.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. An insect bite wont stay so long. i advise you to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to get biopsy of the lesion besides other routine tests for confermation.
Besides i advise you some diet recomendations as Avoid taking brinjal and sea foods. take more of green leafy vegetables pulses sprouts
egg meat milk fruits and juices to improve resistance blood and general health.
Wishing for a quick recovery and thanks for calling.
