Suggest Remedy For Infection From Bug Bite
I got a bug bite, it was small and red for a day or so. Back of the calf. I looked at it today because it started hurting and it got bigger and had white pus head with a red circle around it. I lanced it with sewing needle and put some antibiotic ointment on it. Now there is some clear fluid. What should I be on the watch for?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The signs and symptoms of infection are:(1)increased warmth of the area
(2)increased tenderness
(3)redness
(4)swelling
(5)discharge
If you notice any of these symptoms then it indicates that an infection is present and you may need to be assessed by your doctor.
I hope this helps
