Sorry to hear that. You should go to An Phu or Hoan My hospital ( near cantavil building) to check it as soon as possible

Vietnam is quite big. Where you are living?
If in Nha Trang, then you have 2 military hospitals- quite good, reasonable, but limited English.
Most Taxi drivers willknow.

If you live somewhere else, off to the next pharmacy. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Go a pharmacist FIRST! They have seen most of everything.

In VietNam, show bugs respect - some can kill!

I have a friend who takes bug 'portraits' (pictures) and he is extremely careful even under controlled conditions.

Tropical insects can be pretty nasty.
Don't mess about - go directly to a hospital.

Can't be that bad - he said he has had it some time.

Likely the bug left something under the skin.
