If a red dot appeared on your wrist followed by a bump, and now you’re experiencing slight pain, it’s possible it may have been an insect bite or a minor contact reaction. First thing you could try is applying a cold compress to the area to help reduce any swelling or irritation that might still be there. Do it for about 15 minutes every hour or so, as it’s practical within your daily routine. Resting the affected wrist could also prevent aggravation. Over-the-counter antihistamines like loratadine or cetirizine might help if there’s an allergic component to the reaction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen are useful for managing pain and inflammation but only take these if you usually tolerate them well and don’t have contraindications such as stomach ulcers or kidney problems. Keep an eye on the affected area — watch for increasing redness, more pain, warmth, or swelling, as these might hint at an infection that needs medical attention. If you notice these, or if the pain worsens abruptly, it would be wise to talk to your healthcare provider soon. While some minor bites and irritations resolve on their own, if you experience any systemic symptoms like fever or shortness of breath, seek medical help immediately. Avoid applying creams or ointments that you haven’t used before to prevent further irritation, specific creams may interact with the bite reaction leading to more discomfort. If the symptoms don’t seem to improve over the course of a few days, a visit to your doctor would be worthwhile to rule out something more serious.
