I recently went trekking and while coming down the hill, I found about five leeches on my leg. I pulled them off, and there was some blood flow, so I applied antiseptic. It's been 7 days since, and one of the bite areas is now swollen and painful. The area feels quite hard too. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful.
