Bug bite with purple dots around it?

The purple dots have just started showing up..? What type of bug bite would this be? It’s never happened before.

Those are petechiae. It is caused by tiny broken capillaries. It appears you might have scratched the spider bite and may have broken the capillaries. If you will notice, the petechiae are in the shape of elongated scratches.

I had a similar spider bite on my forearm which formed a blister eventually, and it did not stop itching until I removed the fluids from the blister and caused it to bleed, and then disinfected the whole thing.
Flea bite is my guess.
Do you have pets?
@FreeSpirit1 I have a cat, yes, but she takes flea medication

Is it tender? Does it hurt?
@JoeyFoxx It hurts a little when I touch it.

@Hatzy you may want to contact a local clinic or if your doctor has telemedicine available.

But, it appears to be a spider bite and you have developed some small hematoma. It may not be a big deal, but it’s a good idea to have someone who knows what they are talking about take a look at it.

The red dots are most likely from scratching
