Why you shouldn't scratch open a bug bite....

Why you shouldn't scratch open a bug bite....

Ladies and gentelmen, this was a huge mistake on my half... as you know, mosquito bites are extremely itchy! I'n my case, having long nails makes it worse, as i scratched it open in my sleep. I also used love picking scabs, and that only make this giant bug bite worse! This is discharge from the wound, and this came from wearing the dressing for one day. This got pretty infected, and to this day, about 9 months later, I still have a VERY visible scar. Due to me reopening the wound, it also made the scar darker, and it took longer to heal, about a month for it to completely heal. I have learned my lesson, and whenever I have a bug bite, I now cover it with some anti itch cream, along with cover my hands with socks or gloves to keep my claws from scratching it open! P.S. This wound was about 2 inches in length and about 2 centimeters in width, and the wound was fairly deep and went through multiple layers of the skin...
