    Sounds as though he is having a local reaction to something. Since the area is getting larger, best to call his doctor now. They may suggest something like benedryl and/or to have him seen.

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread. For future reference, please choose a more appropriate forum and title for your questions.

    Have you tried using calamine or neosporin?

    We can't diagnose here especially for something as instant as a bug bite.
