    Purple mosquito bite.

    I’ve got a mosquito bite on my leg that got pretty big and very red, I have been scratching it a bit, now four days later it looks purple and I’m afraid something is wrong, like an infection or a symptom for something. The purple area has not grown or anything.

    Anyone with similar experience??

    I have several mozzie bites on my legs and arms,it is really hard not to scratch them,I scratch until I bruise you have nothing to worry about.

    I wouldn't assume that this is just a bruise. It can be an infection, and you can not be sure that it was a mosquito bite, right?

    I’m 100% sure it’s a mosquito bite, i had drink of wine with some friends outside at night and my legs starting to itch, I’ve got two bites and the one I didn’t scratch looks more normal and red now. Both of them first started to visibly and bumpy the day after.

    As a kid I was allergic to mosquitoes and had gigantic bites, but I can’t remember if any of them bruised.

    Hey! Did your bite resolve itself? I’m in the same boat as you were, and I just posted about it.
