What Should I Do As Got Bitten By A Bug On My Thigh?
I have a bug bite on my thigh. I woke up Sunday morning itching it. There is now a bigger circle that is discolored. In that bigger circle, there is the pink center that is raised. Small dots are around the pink center in the bigger circle. What kind of bite does this sound like?
