Possible insect bite? confused please help!?

Question:

I was at a theme park today and while riding a roller coaster I had this sudden burning pain in my right leg. I pulled something squished up out of my shorts and i couldn't tell what it was. I then looked at my leg and saw that it had a small round mark on it that was red with dried blood it looked like. I had another one further down my leg. Covering it were patches of raised skin (the dried blood hole in the middle of it). The raised skin was the color of my skin and looks as if it has gone down now. I went to first aid to get antiseptic and put a band aid on it then had no problems with it the rest of the day. What could it be? should I see a doctor? currently the bite LOOKS like its healing up but i'm not really sure. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answers:
Sounds like bee or wasp. You should be fine. Don't put heat on it, it spreads the venom. Put cold compresses on it and watch it for a few days. If it doesn't get better in a few days, then call your doctor. Some alcohol on the site might help also.

if you are feeling better already then its probably not serious. bad bites often get worse quickly and don't get better without treatment.

all the same if you feel faint or unexplainably fatigued after a few days go to the er. next time use a bug repellant with DEET in it, like OFF or something.

if the swelling has already gone down a bit, I doubt it is serious. Probably not a bee or wasp or anything like that. If you have any yellow crystal like discharge, it could be a spider bite.

Either way, unless you have trouble breathing or feel light headed and clammy, you don't have anything to worry about.
Put cold wash cloths or, even better, a bag of frozen peas on it for a few minutes at a time. The skin will heal itself, but you should wash the bite and put some Neosporin on it to protect against infections. And of course - don't scratch it.
