What Causes Swollen And Liquid Oozing From Bite Marks On Foot?
I woke up with 5 bites on my legs (stayed at a different house) - 3 around my ankle and 2 around my knee. They are all hugely swollen and have been constantly oozing a clear liquid all day. Do you know what this could be? Where it the liquid is oozing from there are 3 or 4 points on one bite where it is coming from.

Hi,
It seems that due to poisonous bite there might be having local allergic reaction giving rise to cellulitis, swelling and infection.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
You may require one course of antibiotic to control infection.
Clean the local part with antiseptic lotion and apply triple acting cream.
Ok and take care.
