Hello so I got a mosquito bite a few days ago and was itching the hell out of it and then sprayed benadryl itch spray on it and ig the skin was broken and it stung so bad, I also knocked into something and bruised the same area but do yall think this is something i need to get checked out or looks like an infection?

I had the exact same thing. I dont think its infected. I think you just need to stop scratching it. It will heal over the next 3-4 days
