Hello and thank you for posting your medical question on E health forum.

From the description, it seems that you have developed a hypertrophied scar, at the site of the bite.

The best treatment in this case would be removal by cryotherapy or by a small excision procedure.

You might consult your doctor or a dermatologist for further advice and treatment.

I hope this Helps.
