I posted this in Medicine as well.. I hope I get more answers here.. A person I know said the mark on her neck was an insect bite that she didnt know about. I didnt ask further but I looked terribly like a hickey. I really don't care about her personal affairs, just wondering if there ARE any insect bites that look like hickies.

Spider bites. And they can be very, very dangerous.
(But I would go with the hickey prognosis.)

It depends on how the body reacts and what type of venom the insect has. If it is a 'bite' (performed by the mouhparts) it may look like a bruise, since it is a pinching of the skin. If it is a sting (performed with the back part of the body) and has a neurotoxin venom, it won't, since that affects the brain and the nervous system. If it s stung by a insect with a necrotoxin, then it might look like a bruise at the beginning, but then it will turn into a scab that will not heal... she should get medical attention immediately, since it can get infected.

Lyme disease which is a bite from a deer tick. It is a red circle that can vary in size, which some think looks like that and can cause a great deal of suffering months after the bite. My daughter is allergic to mosquitoe bites and they turn red and swell sometime as large as a 2 inch circle. So it very well might be a bite!

I know that if I scratch a bite too much it'll bruise a little but I don't now about any bites that look like hickeys

Deer tick bites are often described as resembling bullseyes, and they kind of look like a hickey. There is a danger of lymes disease with this bite.

I'll use that one next time I get busted with a hickey. Got one for claw marks on your back where she knows you can't reach?

sime mosquito bites can look like one if you have a reaction. Wasps and such too.
But know one would not be aware of it. If they get bit by bug or person they will be very aware of it.

It wasn't an insect...... it was a monkey bite.
