bug bite for 7 months?!? is this even a bug bite?!
Question: Bug bite for 7 months?!? is this even a bug bite?
So, I got a bug bite (or I thought was a bug bite) last July. I live in Japan, so the bugs here during the summer are mostly mosquitoes, so I thought it was a mosquito bug bite. It is now February, and 7 months have passed. It still itches about once a day, and there is still a bump. It is darker than the rest of my skin, there is a little scab and the top, and it looks like a normal mosquito bug bite. Except I've had it for 7 MONTHS. This must not be normal...obviously. So :
1. Is this supposed to go away any time soon?
2. Is this a "mosquito bug bite"?
3. If not, what should I do?
Thank you :)

Answers:
1) If it hasn't gone away for 7 months might be something else
2) I don't think so
3) You should go to a doctor as soon as possible.
I'm not sure exactly what it is. I do recommend you go to a doctor to have it examined though. Because if you had an allergic reaction, it should've gone away by now.
