In case of an insect bite, most of the time, the stings and bites lead to mild pain or itching at the point of the bite. At the most, a reddish mild swelling would be seen which disappears after some time.

However, if a person is allergic to an insect bite, he will develop a reaction at the site of the bite that will cause pain, swelling, redness, and itching. The typical itchy red bumps might last for a couple of days. Less commonly, more severe reactions can occur. These include blistering rashes, bruises, or large areas of swelling at the bite sites.
