What Caused Red Lump With Itching?
I think last week I was bitten a few times by an insect of some kind. They were very itchy (like a typical flea bite). However a few days have gone by and the itching disappeared. Today the itching is back on one of them and I now have a huge red lump there. Is it something to worry about?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump can be caused by an allergic reaction or some kind of an infection. It is hard to tell not seeing it. I suggest you to consult dermatologist with this issue. Some antiinflammatory medicines might be necessary.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
