Does this look ok (bite related)

I’ve had this bite for a couple of days. It’s not itchy. It’s swollen, hot and feels like a bruise when I touch it. I’ve taken antihistamines but seems to be getting hotter and more painful. Should I seek medical advice to see if it’s infected or just wait a few more days? Thanks

I'd use hydrocortisone cream on it too as well as take antihistamines and see the pharmacist if it gets worse .

I'd get it checked out as it looks a bit like a bullseye. Draw round the outer red edge too so you can see if it's spreading or reducing.
