Bad reactions to mosquitoes! Is this cellulitis? How can I tell that from allergy?

Hello! I was bitten by a bunch of mosquitoes yesterday and I’m not sure if this is an allergic reaction or cellulitis? I did scratch my forearm and leg particularly a lot last night and a little today.

The forearm redness has stayed the same redness throughout today, but the leg one has become I think a little more red? As well as has formed a blister? There is a sort of pressure as well when I squat or sometimes when I walk.

I added photos of during the day and tonight (now)

Any advice helps? My forearm burns and itches a lot right now 😭 I have a bite cream a pharmacist gave me but I don’t think it’s helping :/

Is this bug bite worrying as cellulitis?

The 1st picture is the one I am mainly worried about due to the little red streak looking part coming from it. Yesterday I got attacked by a bunch of mosquitoes, and it was so itchy last night. I included pictures of the other ones to compare reactions as I usually get bad reactions to them, but the one on my forearm looks bigger 😭 I think I did scratch it the most last night

So I am worried it is a cause for concern. It still feels itchy ? Should I see a pharmacist or a GP?

Fungal acne flare up after treating tinea versicolor - is it FA or something else ?

Recently started treating tinea versicolor I discovered I had all over my body and face due to hot and humid climate. I noticed the texture seen on my face a while ago but left it alone. starting to treat tinea versicolor with ketoconazole 2% shampoo by lathering and leaving it on for 10 mins once a day at night, as well as a miconazole nitrate 2% cream in the morning.

I’ve only been treating it for a couple of days but it seems like it’s becoming more prominent, pink and itchy especially on my upper lip area? There are patches of dry pink and itchy skin which not sure is TV or FA.

Can anyone confirm this is fungal related ? not sure if anyone here also has or had tinea versicolor, but treating those patches has made them look more scaley and dark.
