    Bug bite? Or should I be concerned?
    My daughters right hand is noticeably swollen and slightly warm (though not hot).

    We don't have poisonous spiders/bugs up here, so I'm wondering if I should be more concerned.

    She woke up with it that way this morning and I gave her benedryl and it has not improved...

    I attached a picture... (yeah the pen on the other hand happened just a little bit ago... sorry LOL)

    I would contact your pediatrician if she is uncomfortable or if any other symptoms develop.

    But you do have mosquitoes that are as big as hummingbirds. Could this be a mosquito bite?

    LOL yes we do... but out of the 20 bites on this poor kiddo...

    Her hand is swollen... every other bite looks like a skeeter bite... (no way around getting them here)

    And I don't know if it is clear in the pic... but it's all red even the underside of her wrist.

    I saw that. I used to live in Wasilla and Anchorage, got mosquito bites all the time.

    Does it itch her? Burn? Looks like the squito just got a sensitive spot. Soak it in cold water, if you have Absorbine JR, this works well with Alaska squitos too.

    Some parts of the body are more sensitive than others.
