Insect bites swell and get hard due to the human body releasing histamine in response to insect saliva containing anticoagulants. The more you itch the worse it gets, as the body thinks that you need more antibodies to attack the anticoagulants.

What kind of spider bite give s you a hard lump under skin?
Most larger spider bites will cause a hard lump to form, especially bites from a wolf spider or brown recluse. This is because blood cells rush to the area during the healing process and become trapped. As the bite heals, the lump will go down and eventually disappear. Make sure that its actually a spider bite though, because hard lumps also form under MRSA boils and are often mistaken for spider bites. Seek medical attention if the bite gets worse or does not begin healing within 24 hours of beginning treatment.
