How Can A Bug Bite Swelling On The Thigh Be Treated?
I got a bug bite a couple days ago I think...I noticed it when part of my thigh swelled to the size of a baseball. It was normal colored and I couldn't tell it was even a bite. Then the next day it started bruising and is very black and brown now. it's like a 3" diamater circle of bruising with a bite in the middle. Any ideas as to what it is?

without seeing the bug it is very difficult to answer which bug it is. whichever bug you should concentrate regarding treatment part. you should go for antihistaminic with steroids under doctors guidance. you should also take antibiotics to prevent infection and analgesic to control pain. take the injection t.t. if you have not taken.
