Suggest Treatment For Mosquito Bite On Thigh

Hello, I received some sort of mosquito or spider bite on my left thigh which is hurting me and tender to put pressure on. It's really red and it's not itchy at all. The skin around it is really hard...if you look at my thigh, it looks like a huge muscle sticking out...which is how big it is.

HI
Well come to HCM
This may not be mosquito or spider bite but chances of skin lesion would be more likely and this could be viral infection, in my opinion this can be managed with Diphenhydramine lotion, most of the time such lesion comes around on its own, take care ( Comment:- Certain viral skin lesions always taken as mosquito bite or spider bite )
I find this answer helpful
