Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It sounds as though there is an infection. It is possible that the infection originated from an insect bite.
You need to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. You may need oral antibiotics to effectively treat the area.
A swab may be taken to determine the bacteria causing the infection and also to make sure that the bacteria will respond to the antibiotic chosen.
I hope this helps
