Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic reaction is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having doubt about insect bite, possibility of allergic reaction is more.
So you can start antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) drugs.
If still itching is there then consult dermatologist for clinical examination.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
