I had either an insect or tick bite on my leg about 4 months ago. It has left a bump that is red and itchy. This never happened before after a bite. Is this common? Anything I can do?

With most insect or tick bites, you get a pink, itchy bump that swells slightly, then fades in about a week. But some people react worse to stings or bites. And if you have an allergy, reactions can be life threatening. Bites by certain spiders can also have severe consequences, including death. Sometimes bites can cause infectious diseases, such as Lyme disease transmitted by a tick bite.
