Just got back from spain, got lots of bites, but this one has grown to about 4 inches diameter. Noticed it had when got off plane. Its itchy (naturally) and very hot to touch

my sister was covered with about 12 of them on holiday to corfu couple years ago, each the size you say. Couldnt really do much but i remember the rep saying if they didnt settle or became infected they might squeeze them or something. Try leaving for few days then maybe go to gp for advice.

You may need antib's especially if you get pus-filled blisters.

hi, thanks for replying. The consensus seems to be that it is a horsefly bite, it is totally different to the other on me.

they are def mozzie bites.

Go to the docs and get some anti-biotics or you will get a blood infection. NAsty
