Insect bite help

I have an insect bite on my leg that I am unsure of and want to know if it is anything to worry about. It has been there now for about two weeks. It looks exactly the same as when i first saw it. There has been no change. It is exactly the same size, it hasn't grown or shrank. It hasn't faded and it is not any more prominent. It itched at first, for about a day or two, but hasn't since. This is why I haven't yet worried about it. But since it's still there while other bites I've had have come and gone, I feel it'#s best to start asking questions about it. It is definitely not limes disease - I have no flu like symptoms at all. I doubt it's ringworm because it's not spread or increased in size, neither is it scabby at all. It is just this one bite - I have no other bites like it. I've never seen a bite like this before.
