Almost a week ago my mom got bit on her neck... At first it started out looking like a small welt... Within' the past several days it has grown in size... With several tiny puss filled spots.... and under these spots lies a knot... It keeps getting bigger. She has no health insurance and refuses to see a doctor... can anyone help me??? Please! I'm concerned!

Hello and welcome to E health forum.

The findings could be due to a inflammatory reaction to the suspected insect bite, which has now developed into a cellulitis.

Application of ice packs and use of advil might reduce the inflammation. Benadryl might reduce any itching.

Consultation with a physician for definitive diagnosis and effective treatment might be helpful.

I hope this helps.
