Does Mosquito Bite Cause Pus Filled Bump Leading To Bleeding?
My boyfriend got bit by a mosquito and it was a red bump like normal. The next day it grew twice the size and he popped it. Its been about 4 days since he was bitten now it has puss and blood coming out and its bruised/red around where he popped the bump.. the doctor is requesting $170 for him to be seen.. can this be treated at home or does he need to go see a doctor?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having allergic reaction after insect bite.
Due to popping of blister there might be having secondary bacterial infection producing this problem.
Clean local part with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Go for one course of antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
