Insect bite
Suddenly as i was sleeping an insect just came near my neck and bit me there.
I couldn't see which insect it was as the room was dark.
A little amount of blood came and now the place is swollen with a bit of a burning sensation.
I have washed the area with soap and applied boroline as it is night and there is no medicine available.
Can you please see the photo and tell if it is harmful?

You can use the Cetrizine tablet.
Insect bite usually doesn't cause that kind of bleeding.
