How To Treat A Swollen Bug Bite Oozing Brown Bloody Discharge?

About two days ago I got a bug bite and dismissed it as a mosquito bite. Well now it's swelled to about two inches in diameter, is warm to the touch, and when I accidentally squeezed it, it oozed a thick brown liquid with some blood. Now it's more of a clearish amber, but when I looked this up all I got was Brown Recluse. I don't really feel sick, so what could it be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that there is infection at the bug bite site leading to zing of brown fluid and blood but as not it is clearish in appearance you need not to worry as it will definitely get resolved soon..
You can take anti-allergics like Benadryl, take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Aleve or motrin, clean the are with antiseptic solution and apply a triple antibiotic ointment over it..
Do cool compresses over it..
While cleaning try to remove the infectious fluid as much as possible to heal the infection faster..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
