what does this look like to you??? 2 Attachment(s) yesterday, my 6 year old daughter came home from 2 weeks at her fathers and she had a bug bite on her leg that was bothering her. Last night at bed, she was saying it was itching. to me, it looked like a mosquito bite that she had been itching. so i put some campho phinique on it and she went to bed. well, this evening, i am looking at it and it has a sort of rash/ring around it. def. does not look normal. the bite itself has a spot in the middle of it that feels like a scab but it isn't a scab. and this rash/ring is there without her even scratching at it. it is a little puffy feeling...meaning that you can feel where it starts and where it ends. any idea what this might be? i'm thinking tick bite (her dad lives in the boonies). we are heading to the dr. first thing in the morning but i dont think i will sleep tonight wondering what it is. |
Whatever it is.. looks like a bite of some kind.. it is infected? Are you going to wait till morning? just me.. ( I take my boys to the hospital for anything!!) it looks pretty infected. Best wishes.. hopefully nothing serious |
I think it looks like she had a reaction to a spider bite, but I'm not sure. I think I'd get her looked at. Wish I knew for sure, sorry. |
if it was me i would be going to the hospital. reactions to insect bites/stings can be dangerous! |
Did she get stung maybe? or maybe spider bite? poor little thing, glad your taking her to get checked, looks a bit swollen and pain ful, keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers, please keep us posted. |
I HAD THE SAME THING IN JUNIOR HIGH!!!! Cept mines was about an inch bigger.. mine was HUGE! And it took like 2 weeks to heal... I think its a spider bite because when it was almost healed.. you could see bites of twos.. like 6-7 in pairs all around.. (you can only see it when its almost completely healed).. i dont know what kind of medicine/cream to use.. my mom just used whatever we had and smeared it all over my arm everyday :p poor girl... hope it heals faster than mine did! |
we are def. going to the dr. |
Make sure you mark where it is right now, so you will know if it gets worse |

I am glad you are taking her to your personal physician first thing tomorrow, sometimes the ER does not pay attention to these things. And you can be there all night waiting to get seen. I am thinking it is a spider bite as well, but I hope it is something more benign. I wish you the best! |

You should give her some benadryl. It does look like a reaction to some kind of bite.:animal-pa |
looks like a staph infection to me |
OMGosh...that looks terrible! I hope it's not a brown recluse bite. I bet is is some kind of spider bite though. My son got spider bites on his thigh once and it was red like that and then there were 1" red marks going upwards from the bites, which meant it was going into his lymph nodes. He ended up in the hospital. I bet the doctor will be giving you antibiotics for that. Keep us updated. Maddie and Libby send kisses! |
Nothing like us all freaking you out when you are probably worried enough..... I took my son to the hospital once because he had hives!!!! I never had seen them before. We got to the hospital, I could even find them.... the hives were moving!!! They were on his chest.... they went away to his legs!!! YES I am one of THOSE mothers!!! LOL!! |
I say it looks like a spider bite too :( |
