Hi,
When did this start? Can you share a picture? This can indicate an insect bite reaction as you suspected, or contact dermatitis. Anyhow, just try applying an emollient over there. It should disappear in 4-5 days. Otherwise, we can evaluate further.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
