Why Bug Bite Identifier

1. Take or upload a photo

Use good natural light if you can. Include a wider view for context and avoid irritating the skin for the sake of a photo.

2. Add a few details

Tell us when you noticed it, how it feels, the pattern you see, and where exposure may have happened.
