What Causes A Growing Welt On Stomach Post An Insect Bite?
My daughter got bit or stung yesterday and it turned into a large round welt. On her stomach it is bigger today. Not sure what it is. The original mark from the bite or sting is gone. We drew a circle around the welt and it is getting bigger. What could it be?

Hello. It's likely just an allergic reaction to the bite that would respond to benedryl, but it could be a developing cellulitis--skin infection--so a doctor should take a look at it
