What Is A Red Spot On The Back Of The Thigh Suggestive Of?

I have a red spot the size of a quarter on the top of the back of my thigh, I assume it was a bug bite of some sort, it was very itchy, swelling 3 inch diameter began Friday morning, but has gone down now. No discharge or rash, I haven t noticed any changes in energy or other body symptoms. It does seem to be getting better but I am wondering if it could be lyme disease or something else that could require extra medical attention.

Hello,

If the swelling has gone and you dknt have any others symptoms it can be just a bug bite.

I suggest using cortisone cream for local application.

I also suggest ti use Cetirizine 10 mg to prevent the itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
