Rosie please get that bite looked if it looks funny. Too tired to spell so copied this from NHS site.
'Secondary bacterial infections are a common complication of insect bites and stings. They include:
impetigo - a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes sores or blisters
cellulitis - an infection that makes your skin red, swollen and painful
folliculitis - inflammation (redness and swelling) of one or more hair follicles (the small hole in your skin that an individual hair grows out of)
lymphangitis - an infection that causes red streaks in your armpit or groin and swollen lymph nodes (small glands that are part of the immune system) '
Thanks. I also read that stuff earlier when I was trying to find out if I should be worried or not. I shall let it lie for a bit and see if it gets any better.
