Patient discussion about Insecta.

Q. does mosquito bites considered as an edema a bet with a friend- please help solve an issue an help me win a new I pod :)

A. i hope you said it is :). edema is a normal reaction to an inflammation, which is-your body reaction to any thing unfamiliar to it. the mosquito injects a substance that makes our body react and recruit the immune system to the area. that means swelling up and get a red/pink color because of blood vessels broadening and blood cells coming out.

Q. My friend told me that people who allergic to dust are actually allergic to small insect. Is he fooling with me?

A. thanks :)

Q. an insect bite seems infected and is bleeding... the area under the skin is hard and sore... when pressed it bleeds quite a bit

A. It sounds like you have cellulitis around the area of the bite, and you should see a doctor to decide whether or not this requires antibiotics.
