Bitten.

I don't know how but I have an insect bite at my arm. I thought at first it was cause by the resistance band I use for exercising. But it is just on my left arm and none on the right. Last night it was a bit swollen like 3 inches round. Only a bit red and the middle area where the bite may be is more pronounced than the surrounding area. I just put some ointment last night. It is not itchy but tender to touch. I wonder what bite me?

I haven't been able to wear my watch the last few days as something bit me where the watch-band goes.

@rakski It's settled down now but there is still a small red welt there.

maybe a spider bit you ? I have no clue but hopefully it goes away soon and doesn't bother you too much.

Unless you're shooting up, then it wouldn't leave a welt like described. @JimBo452020

May be a mosquito, or a small spider.

@rakski This is possible, those small ants give painful bites.

Apply honey if you have it. But that's really weird. Mosquito bite would normally be itchy, so it must something else.

Looks like a bee bit you. One bee bite is good. That pain will soon disappear.

I do not think it is a bee because it is too big not to notice

3 inches is pretty big. i'm glad it's not itchy so you're not tempted to touch it. what ointment did you use?
