What To Do For The Hard Lump Under The Skin?
I dont know what bit me, but I was in the pond and something in the water bit or stung me. After a couple of days later it turned into a hard lump under my skin. Also it feels feverish from the rest of my skin. It itched at first, but it didn't itch after a while. It is the size of the pad of my pointer finger. What should I do and should I be worried about what kind of bite it is?

Hi.
You should be worried for two reason::
* you do not know what exactly bite you- so this is sting by unknown- so the progress can not be known
*Why wait for some dangerous complications?
So is the need to see a Doctor and get the lump physically checked by a Doctor.
You have to start some medicines like antibiotics and antihistamine.
