If you are going to give advice, please ensure it's absolutely, positively, correct. First you shouldn't use hydrogen peroxide this way. If you plan on handling something like this on your own, can't afford to go to the ER or doctor's office. Anyway, you really need to open this up, and not with a little needle, use a craft knife. Use pressure going from the furtherest point out, and working in. Don't squeeze. Once all is removed, lavage until you see no pus expressed. Not enough characters left

This is not a bug bite. It is an MRSA abscess.
Hydrogen peroxide is a terrible idea as it seriously damages tissue and will worsen the healing process and put you at risk of getting infected.
The treatment for this is to properly drain it and keep it draining. Given the lack of systemic symptoms and redness it is unlikely that adding antibiotics on top of draining would make any difference

Probably MRSA

@missvixson ...yep! I agree!!!

"You gotta be smart enough to know when its time to get the hell out, take it out of your hands and give it to someone else..." UH you passed that point. This is still and obviously was more infected. What concerned me the most wasnt the swelling but the evidence of infection in the vein leading from the bite. If the vein gets infected it can pass the infection directly to your heart (death). Also your body is working over time to battle this infection, which could leave your immune system weak.
You NEVER use hydrogen peroxide on an OPEN wound! You only use it when you are irrigating it with sterile H20 after. Hyd. Per. dehydrates cells..and continues to lyse these cells until flushed from the system. The reason your arm was so red was from inflammation to the healthy cells and the infected ones. You needed to use a heat compress then sterilize with alcohol, then lance it with a sterile needle. Let it drain with mild pressure then clean again with alcohol and cover with sterile gauze.
