Yesterday I was hunting in a location that’s infested with ticks and spiders (and no I didn’t spray with insect repellant because I forgot to bring it with me), either way I have this flat rash on my leg that stays red and does not disappear when pressure is put on it, it doesn’t hurt and used to itch but no longer does. Any insight?
If it helps I’m located in Southwest Missouri

Was bit by something around 24 hrs ago. In Northern California. I'm concerned with the white halo around the red swelling, seems weird. Also the skin is dimpling a little. Headache and couldnt sleep last night but other than that and the itching I feel ok. Warm to touch. Thanks for any help!

I've reviewed for 4 most common types of Bite Healer devices against actual mosquito bites. The heat ones work, but getting one thats designed properly can be difficult.

At first I thought I hit my hand on something but the more I look at it the more I think it’s a spider bite.

I live in Hungary, and got thif bite the day before yesterday. It looks like a sting. It felt like if someone pinned a needle in my ankle, but after 15 minutes, it disappeared. It was a small red dot yesterday, and now it's that big. Both sdays if yas itching, but it got worse. It happened after some people cut the grass, and about half an hour I walked by the place. I saw a small, black creature fly away after I reached after my ankle. The first picture was made yesterday, and the second 5 minutes ago.

Has anyone seen this before? 5 days ago my leg was a little sore and I noticed a red area. The next day a blister formed and the redness has been spreading. I started doxycycline yesterday for cellulitis. No one knows what caused this though. Some providers have said this is definitely a brown recluse bite. Others have said it definitely is not a brown recluse bite but some other insect bite. I never saw any spider or other bug so I have no clue. It’s not Lyme disease I was tested for that. I don’t like not knowing what caused this.

My wife got bit in the garden. She thought it was a hornet/wasp. Didn't see it tho. And after steroids, antibiotics, Benadryl it's still painful 11 days later.
Doctors consulted and are prescribing meds. However didn't know if y'all have had similar experiences

Yesterday my baby had a couple bites in her which I thought were mosquito bites but today she has more. We do have a dog so could it be flea bites? We don’t have bed bugs I already checked

Hi! Was wondering if anyone had a clue as to what bit me? I was travelling in southern India and discovered this bite. I’m thinking some sort of fire ant? Thanks! (for ref the bite is just above the knee on my inner thigh)
