HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may be insect bite or it may not be but it could be infection and that needs to be managed with antibiotic, and best drug is Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day, and to confirm the nature of injury and for that without clinical examination it can not be said abut it whether it is the insect bite or something else hope this information helps.
