Hello,
Five days and it has gotten bigger, harder and red means the area has got some collection of blood with or without pus and now it is getting infected. The swelling needs to be examined again which may require for the collection to be drained out with medicines. Ideally by now had it been a simple insect bite the size wouldn't be increasing or getting harder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prafulla Srinivas
