Is my mosquito bite really bad and should I see a doctor?

I got a mosquito bite on my calf three days ago (last Saturday). They looked normal. The next morning it had grown to about 2 inches and it was flat and a light pink color. It also felt like my calf was hurting like when you have a sore muscle.

After I went to work out (not a good idea) you could then see a red bump where I was bitten. Not only that but my leg hurt even more where the bite was. It was also extremely itchy

Yesterday the red bump grew to about one inch but it was flat now instead of bumpy. There were also what looks like red marks/veins on it. The light pink area was still around it but smaller in size.

Today the pink area is gone and the red part remains the same size as yesterday. The itching has gone down. Does it sound like its infected?

I don't know if it's just a coincidence but I had a headache yesterday and still today. Today it seems like it's concentrated on the left side of of my forehead and under my left eye. Is it due to the the bit or not?

When I got bit it was at a friends house. She got bit too at around the same time as me. I talked to her and hers didn't get as bad as mine. So it couldn't be West Nile right? Or else hers would be as bad too.

If you are seeing lines tracing away from the bump, it is tender to the touch, hot on the surface of the skin, or if there is any discharge or yellowish look to the skin it could possibly be infected. Nevertheless, the body is pretty resilient and unless you have a very random occurrence it is unlikely that it would need a doctors attention. I would wash it keep it clean, apply triple antibiotic cream on it to keep it from having additional bacteria and monitor it. If you are really concerned call your docs office and ask to talk with the nurse. Very often they can tell you if it is important enough to make your way into the office. There have been know MRSA (Methacillin resistant Staph Aureous) infections being passed through insect bites, so keep an eye on it.
