Hi,

You need to take anti allergic medication, the insect bite looks the point of allergic reaction with post bite infection.

As you had taken many antibiotics the localised swelling may be antibioma.

You need to visit a skin specialist to get a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
