Suggest Cure For Bug Bites
bug bite
I was in hawaii a week ago and on a night tour I got a bug bite. It was itchy for a day or so and then stopped. But where I got the bite there is a loony sized white spot. my whole back tanned except for this bite spot that is still white. for the last week I have been very tired and feeling ill. I've vomited a few times, and have felt very weak. could this be from the bite? Why do I still have the white spot and should I look for more help with this?

Hello dear,
You should definitely look for more help.From your symptoms,it seems like a spreading infection from the bite site.And ,features like extreme tiredness,vomiting may indicate systemic nature of the infection(Although you may be having a simple infection like an urinary tract infection,since these symptoms followed the bite,we have to take some precautions).Your doctor will guide you further depending on the examination findings.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
