swollen eyelid from insect bite

It is very common for the eye to be extremely swollen after an insect bite. It is also normal for it to be red, but if the redness is deep red and not a peachy or pink/red, then it could be infected. I'll bet this is more of a normal reaction, even though it appears to be grossly abnormal. She'll get better. Just be sure to check her eyesight when you are able to open the eyelid a bit. As long as she can see then she'll be fine. Sincerely, Timothy D.

Woke up Saturday morning with an insect bite on the side of my little finger. Finger and base of finger is very swollen, feels like a fully blown up balloon. Bite itself has now appeared and has a black tinge to it and small lump. I have photo, which I'm hoping you can see at Flickr/p/KG1aPq Now Sunday morning and still swollen, tingly and sore to touch. Went for walk in countryside (UK) Friday night so could be from then. Anyone know what did it? Thank you in advance.

I think there could be some local causes like insect bite or any injury or any irritant affecting the eyelid which could have caused the symptom. I think you should be consulting your neurologist for evaluation if you feel the symptom is annoying. If you don’t have any other symptoms associated with BIH currently, then you should not be worried. Keep me informed if you have any queries. Bye.

I woke up yesterday morning to a very swollen left eye; my upper eyelid, around the outer corner, and part of the area just below my eye. There is a small area, a little smaller than a dime, that almost appears to be a dry patch that is pink in color. I put an ice pak on it and the swelling went down, but the spot remained. This morning I woke up and my eye wasn't as swollen, but it was moderately puffy. I put it on ice again, swelling went down, and spot is still there.

You should have this reassessed. This is not likely related to the prior bug bite. Persistently enlarged lymph nodes could be concerning, especially if they are increasing in size, hard, or immobile. My initial conern is for lymphoma, though certainly it could be other less "scary" things. You should see your doctor again regarding another CT scan, and possible biopsy.

but another problem has creeped more serious. the eyelid skin of my right eye has sagged and looks droopy sudennly when compared to other, and i don't know the exact reason for this. i took notice of it last week and it still remains thoughout the day if not worsened.i have assumed of some of the causes: 1)insect bite when i was sleeping, but i couldn't really sense or felt the pain. only when ants bit our eyelids, out eyelids will look bulged but that will last only for few hours.

Hello, It is very rare for insect bite to persist for so long after bite and the skin thinning to be present even years after the bite. I suggest you that you get it examined from your dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

Bites on the ear - the cartilage in the ear is more susceptible to becoming infected from an insect bite. Follow the precautions as above to prevent infection, but also be sure to use warm soaks from the start (instead of only if an infection sets in). If it does become infected, see your doctor. You may need antibiotics sooner than normal bites. Brown Recluse spider bites - this particular spider bite can form a large purple irregularly shaped blister surrounded by a red ring.

Hello, From the symptoms, one possibility is of insect bite. The second possibility is of angioedema. Unexplained swelling of the face, eyes, ears etc without any predisposing disease is frequently caused by allergies. An allergic reaction can occur suddenly, even in a person with no previous history of allergy. This swelling is called angioedema. Diagnosis is by clinical examination and complete blood tests, electrolytes and renal function tests.

Hi, welcome to the forum, this can be a insect sting due to wasp insect or bee. With insect sting, the symptom varies from minor bite pain to life threatening anaphylactic shock. The types of manifestations encountered are local reactions, systemic allergic reactions, toxic reactions, and delayed reactions. Local reactions are the most common type of response to insect stings and are seen immediately, and include swelling, erythema, and pain, affecting areas that are seen with the sting site.

Thank you for your response.Here is the other problem.. I just started a new job and funds are tight right now..and I think I might have the flu...what else can I do for him at home?? I am giving him 800 mg bid and benadryl adult doe 2 capsules every 6 hours...is this adequate?? If they fought it would have to be thru the kennel wire and have never seen them do that.

If it's neurological there shouldn't be any actual swelling of the eyelid involved, hmmm if the eyelid is swollen then it 'could' make the eyelid just look like it's drooping down, have you seen your GP about it yet? As aspen mentioned it could be an infection or even a reaction bug bite on the eyelid, if it's been a few days and it's still swollen it'd be worth getting your GP to check it out. Hope that helps....

There are a number of possibilities, it could be simple swelling from irritation or a bite from some insect/bug, could be a cyst, etc. Though I really wouldn't worry about it until you know exactly what it is. Don't stress about it, just get the appointment made with your doctor. It's most likely nothing serious.

When I woke up the other day, I sound some small bumpy insect bits on my thigh, adn thought nothing of it. I slept naked the next day and when I woke up, my vagina was unbelievably itchy. I'm covered in what I believe to be these insect bites, my vulva is lumpy from them, slightly swollen and sore. The ones on my arm and thigh went down over a day, but these on my vagina are here for the third day ina row and they're driving me insane.

I have a lump on the side of my neck, underneath the skin... its not really visible, but you can feel it when you move your finger across it. It appears to perhaps be attached to a vein. It is about an inch below the back of my hairline on the right side of my neck. the lump is very hard and the size of a pea or a beebee (sp?). I noticed this first two days ago not long after getting a particularly large insect bite about an inch or two from the spot. I'm not sure if these two are related.

A week and a half ago I had an insect bite on my right big toe and a few days later was stung by a jellyfish on the back of my left knee. The insect bite caused blisters around the site of the bite which eventually burst and appear to be healing. The jellyfish sting was painful and itchy,then oozed a lot, and is now drying out and fading. The question I have is what are some possible reasons I could be having additional rash continuing to spread on both legs?

my 16 month old got bit on her eyelid by a mosquito and now her eye is almost swollen shut what can i do to help her

It's probably best to leave it alone and let it heal on it's own. Are you sure it's a pimple and not some kind of insect bite? Keep an eye on it and if you don't see it healing in the next few days get in to see your Dr to find out what's going on.

Also if she is having swelling then an allergic reaction due to an insect bite and the various systemic conditions esp involving the heart,kidneys and liver have to be ruled out.I would suggest that you request your mother to show herself to her doctor as it can be confirmed only after examination. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.

I was driving and felt a little twich in my left eye, I reached up and quickly wiped my eye. Almost immediately I felt a sharp stabbing pain followed by intense burning. I managed to get to the shoulder of the road and park, looked in my mirror and saw a small spot of blood on the left side of of my eyeball. I didn't see anything else, but then felt something in my lower eyelid, pulling it out I saw a black speck, got it out and realized it was a now dead fire ant.

thanks for being so kind and consolent.but another problem has creeped more serious. the eyelid skin of my right eye has sagged and looks droopy sudennly when compared to other, and i don't know the exact reason for this. i took notice of it only today(monday) and it still remains thoughout the day if not worsened.i have assumed of some of the causes: 1)insect bite when i was sleeping, but i couldn't really sense or felt the pain.

The problem is the next bite. Once the system is sensitized, the next bite can cause a fare more severe reaction. Purchase some benadryl, and keep it with her for the rest of the summer. If she gets bitten again, don't hesitate to take her to an ER if she develops any immediate problems (flushing, difficulty breathing, excessive inflammation).

i have an insect bite, the area around the bite looks like a bullseye and is warm to the touch, there is no pain and it does not itch. should i be concerned?

Dogs have a third eyelid that can become irritated and cause swelling like this. It also could be an insect bite or an infection. You will need to take him to the Vet for a final diagnosis. Please let us know how you make out.

It started as a small reddish bite last saturday which I suspect was an insect bite, I just disregarded it but it grew big until wednesday, I went to see his pedia and it was already cellulitis, he was given an antibiotic (amoclav) which I expect would help the swelling but the swelling became bigger and bigger.
