Q: Hi, I first noticed this bug bite on my leg about maybe two months ago. It hasn't gone away yet and now there are rashes next to it. What does that mean? Should I be concerned?
Hi Nicole
Do you have any idea of what type of insect bit you? Are you sure it was an insect bite? Was it a tick?
This definitely needs to be checked out and soon. Two months is a long time to have a bug bite.
Here is our slideshow about bug bites which may be helpful.
I strongly suggest seeing a doctor if you have not done so already.
Thank you for your question.
