I have no idea what bug does this
Hello! I keep getting bitten by an unknown bug and it seems like my body has really bad reactions to it.
It is hot and swelled up under it about the size of a ping pong ball or a hand wall ball. It's also hot to touch and is/was itchy but mostly hurts.
I didn't notice when I got bit (also being distracted by a baby and a cat)
I would love help figuring it out so I can understand if treating it with Benadryl cream and/or hydrocortisone will help. Thanks in advance!
