    Er.. I thought it was a mosquito bite yesterday, it looked like a normal bite. Today I woke up and it looked like this. My mom thought it was a spider bite because.. it happened while I was sleeping on the couch. =P In our living room. I haven't been hiking or walking through grass or anything like that, so how on earth could it be a tick?! But it looks weird.. what do you think?

    I hope it's nothing because it would be extremely difficult for me to get to a doctor right now.


    Make it an earth-friendly holiday!

    That looks kind of like a tick bite with lyme disease to me. At least in the picture, it looks like the bullseye that appears. (I'm no doctor or anything close to one).

    Google Lyme disease and look under images and see how they compare.

    If that's what it is, you need to get to the doctor, as the faster it is caught, the easier to treat. If you don't have it treated, it can lead to a whole mess of things.
    "Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either."--Walt Disney

    Agreed.

    Normal bites don't normally have a halo around the bite area like that.

    If it is lyme disease it is treatable with antibiotics so it's not like it's a major deal.
    Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it a positive and constructive one.

No shame in my game just par for the path- I try to hone my craft because at hand's the task- But I find I'm not playing with a full deck- I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec

    Haha you're so hilarious Anyway, that's my arm, it's just in an awkward position because the bite is in an awkward place to take pictures of.

    Here is an update.

    No more bullseye?



    Here's the thing. I know that other insects can cause bites like this besides ticks, because I had one that looked exactly like this a few years ago and nothing happened. At all. It went away and was fine. So.. ?

    Thanks for replying guys, lol.
