I went trekking a couple of months ago and ended up getting bitten by a leech. It was attached for just a few minutes and had barely started to suck blood. Now, the wound's healed but there's this tiny bump left that sometimes gets really itchy. Is there anything I can do to deal with this?

Its likely that the bump is a residual scar or a reaction to the leech bite. Applying a soothing cream like hydrocortisone or a natural remedy like aloe vera gel may help with the itching. If it persists or causes discomfort, a dermatologist can offer further advice.
