what are these marks around my bite? Is it from where I’ve been itching it?

Did you ever find out? My daughter has a the same.

Have you been bitten by a tick? Is that what they call the 'bulls eye' rash? Just a guess.

No that's not a bullseye rash.
Just looks like a reaction to a mozzie bite. Some antihistamine might help.

It was just a mozzie bite but she scratched it like crazy in the bath. I guessed it was burst capillaries as the skin was irritated while hot. No idea though! Still the same after 24 hours.

@Nn156 no I think it was just a reaction to the bite, it went down after a couple of days, I did go to the pharmacy and they gave me a cream for it
