Insect bite won't heal

2018-04-15 15:17:07
I had a insect bite on my forearm, it was not a mosquito it was a brown/maroon crawling insect that bit me. It was itchy at first i scratched it and it bled but then it got okay but after the healing the i still have a bump there and it itches sometimes alot its been 3 weeks. Is it something serious? Why won't it heal? I got bit by mosquito but it got better after 1-2 dayw why isn't this bump going away i am worried...please advise...
