Suggest Treatment For Red Painful Bump On The Foot During Pregnancy

I think I was bite by something last week on my foot and there is a small red swollen bump on my the side of my heel. It has been a week and its not going away. A nurse in our building said it was a bug bite but it was soft and didnt seemed worried. Im pregnant and want to make sure its going to heal. No redness or spreading just a blisterish type bump, soft, and slightly painful

As the lump has not resolved over a period of time, I would recommend prescription of safer antibiotics as amoxycillin or else which can be prescribed during pregnancy stage.
