What Are The Side Effects Of Bug Bite?
I have a bug bite that itched at first now has bruised. It didn't look like a spider bite with 2 puncture marks. I was at the beach when it happened but have been home for a week now. As of today my leg has been numb. What could it be? Should I have it looked at?

In short: Wait and watch
Explanation: If its only bruise/numbness you can apply oint soframycin locally and wait for some time. If it is causing weakness/infection then visit a doctor immediately.
Walk carefully next time on beach. Good luck.
