[quote=Anonymous]She said she thinks it's a bad bug or spider bite, but is treating me for Mrsa "just in case."

Woke up with what looked like a pin prick size scab on my shin with a pale pink irregularly shaped ring around it on Sunday. By that evening, it went from pale pink to dark red and looked like a burn. Burns and itches. Benadryl and anti itch creams didn't work (might have made it worse). Slightly swollen. No pimples or puss. By this evening it looked worse. Larger. Pale pink ring around the irregularly shaped dark red.

Doesn't look like a tick bite. Doesn't look like a spider bite. Doesn't look like Mrsa.

No fever. No chills.

Anyone had a really bad bite that turned deep dark red and looked like a burn?

No bruising, no purple or black (like a spider bite).

I know she was trying to help, but she was young and it was a little frustrating. She didn't even mention Mrsa until I asked if it could start out looking like this (that's when she left the room and made a call). And now I'm on f'in bactrim. Dammit. [/quote]
