Hi and thanks for this query.
I have reviewed this information fully. To be of most help, I will like to obtain an image and review. However, the timeline of the symptoms make it most likely an allergic reaction to the bite. If it has been excessively manipulated, an infection could be part of it. With an image, I will be able to make the difference and guide you more.

Hi and thanks for the images.
Please, has this increased in size? I will recommend benadryl and daily cleansing with betadine. If this scab increases in size, I will recommend that we add an antibiotics to this treatment plan.
I wish you well and keep me posted on this.
