What Is The Treatment For Bug Bite?

I have had what I thought was a bug bite on the top of my foot. It is now almost 6 weeks later and I still have it. It is a round red circle with what seems to be a callused middle whitish in color. It is itchy and painful. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

It is normal healing phenomenon nothing to worry in it.

The description you have given is of normal healing process. If your healing is normal such scenario is obseved.

I advice you to maintain local hygiene by frequent cleaning and dressing.

Please apply neosporin powder on wound. betadine application is also helpful.
