This is DPs arm, it started last night as a white lump, it got bigger and hotter and now he's saying it feels tight.

Looks more like an allergic reaction to me. Has he taken an antihistamine?

Doesn't look like it.
Looks like hives?

Ah that's a relief thank you for the sense and reassurance. I have a newborn and my grandmother passed yesterday so I'm probably just a bit anxious. Thank you

Looks like a regular insect bite

I’m sorry for your loss. You’ve a lot going on so understandable to be anxious.
Id say try an antihistamine and slap some Germolene on it and see how it goes.

No it doesn't, it looks like a mild wheal and flare which is an allergic reaction. I'd try antihistamine cream and maybe a tablet. See a pharmacist if it persists.

Thanks everyone and thank you @Allthehorsesintheworld for your kind words
