Last week I went to yoga in the park and I got a couple mosquito bites. One of them turned the usual pink color and it’s about as big as a pea. It’s already going away and didn’t cause much itching at all. The other one is right behind my knee and it still itches, and itched pretty badly a few days ago, so I scratched it. Today when I woke up I had a round bruise, about the size of a quarter. It’s purple and red, looks nasty. The bite isn’t oozing or anything. It’s just bruised and is still kinda itchy.
Should I go to an urgent care tomorrow about it? Is it normal for these bites to bruise? I can’t say for positive that it was a mosquito, but it looked like a mosquito bite. I live in a state that’s too cold and dry for most other biting insects that you might think of (ticks that carry Lyme, brown recluse spiders, etc). People joke that our state bird is the mosquito, and having grown up here I’m pretty certain that’s what it is. They love me. I’ve had bites in the past that have done this....and I don’t get why some mosquito bites are barely noticeable while others bruise and just get gigantic. Any thoughts on any of this?
