Arthropod bite wound

An arthropod bite wound is a cutaneous injury and inflammatory lesion resulting from the mechanical puncture or feeding activity of organisms from the phylum Arthropoda, including insects (such as mosquitoes, fleas, and bedbugs) and arachnids (such as ticks, mites, and spiders)

The condition primarily impacts the integumentary system across all patient demographics, triggered by physical tissue disruption and host immune reactivity to foreign salivary antigens, digestive enzymes, or injected toxins Defining clinical features typically include localized erythema, edema, intense pruritus, and the development of urticarial papules, puncta, or vesicles, which may occasionally progress to bullae, ulceration, or local tissue necrosis
