Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, the possibility of insect bite are high, as your history suggest, i would advise you to watch for your symptoms, any increase in itching, or any systemic symptoms will need an admission and drugs to control the condition, but if you have no added symptoms or regression, do not worry.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
Thanks
