Suspected Insect Bite
30M, Location: UK, suspected insect bite that started itching Monday morning. I was out in the garden/backyard Sunday all day hence suspicious of insect bite. It was quite a faint red to begin with but bigger than it is now. Yesterday it became brighter red/purple that it is now.
It’s seemed slightly less itchy today but the last few hours my calf has been a little achey, only whilst moving, could be because of contorting my leg for 3 days to see the suspect bite. It’s on my upper ankle, lower shin area.
I’ve taken antihistamines the today and yesterday as well as applying Sudocrem.
Apologies for the pen around it in the photos, I was attempting to measure the size and change.
It’s not painful to touch, just sensitive.
Any tips would be appreciated, whether it would be worth visiting a pharmacy for a second opinion, etc.
Thanks!
The photos are in progression order, starting Monday morning through to an hour ago.
