[|Human|] I was beaten by an insect on my cheek just below the left eye. I am not sure if it was a mosquito bite, although, initially thats what I assumed it to be. Its a been a few days now, but I can still see a very small swelling in that area. I am worried since, if it was a regular mosquito bite the swelling would have gone by the second day. Is this something I should be worried about? What insect do you think could have caused this and what, if any, medications should I use?
[|AI|]  Hi... Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if you get sting or bitten by a bug/ insect bite and in case if it is not a mosquito bite and is due to some more poisonous organism than the swelling can last for a few days and also the area of sting can be hard, red and warm as well as painful. As it has regressed in size and also a small swollen area is left out you need not worry as it will resolve gradually. You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over it for faster healing. Apply a Steroid ointment if there is soreness and itching. Nothing else is needed to be done. Just do not try to pop or scratch the bump as it can cause infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
