OMG - I Have A Red Sore On My Cheek! Am I Going To Die?

2. Bug Bite

The red sore on your cheek may be nothing more than a bug bite, which may go away in several days. Some people have dangerous reactions to bug bites. Mosquito, mite and flea bites are red and itchy while bed bug bites are generally painless, smaller and appear in a straight line or a cluster. Antihistamines and hydrocortisone creams may relieve pain and itching and speed up your recovery. Seek medical treatment if the sore does not go away in several days or becomes progressively worse.
