Bug bites or stings typically have a circular appearance, often with a central darker area at the site of the bite. Bites from insects often lead to itch, scratching, and resulting crusts. Bug bites often cause hive-like (urticarial), swollen lesions. There are 3 typical insect bites displayed: one each on the finger and thumb and another near the wrist.

Who's At Risk
Infants of both sexes are just as likely to get stung. While an infant may be seriously affected by an insect bite, it is not always true that other family members will be equally affected by the same type of bite. Heredity does not play a factor in how any given person will react to a bite or sting.
