What Causes An Itchy, Red Area With Black Hairlines Under The Skin Post A Bug Bite?
I got bit or stung by some kind of insect three days ago. I thought it was a mosquito or bee. Because it started to itch and become red. But today (3rd day), the area around the red mark looks like small tiny black hairlines under the skin. i never seen one like this before. What do you think it is?

Hello,
The development of small tiny hairlines could be due to an allergic reaction to the mosquito bite. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of the anti-histaminic drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
