Brief Answer:
Insect bite

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes it does seem like an insect bite. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief for 3-5 days. In addition I suggest you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g either triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream or mometasone furoate 0.1% cream, twice daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
