What could this be ?

About 4 days ago I thought I felt a spider on my back when I woke up. I had a look around but could’nt see anything so thought no more about it. The next day I noticed this red mark above my wrist. It looked like a bite initially because it had a center point to it. That has disappeared since and it’s now just very dry all over. I’ve marked the edges of it as I think it’s increasing in size. Co- incidentally I’ve been having arthritis type pain in my thumb joint above it but blood tests have come back negative for arthritis. My mother has psoriatic arthritis but again my c reactive inflammatory blood test came back. Any thoughts ? Thanks !

I have no idea, so am no help at all, but if you think it is increasing in size, possibly get it checked out?

Is it sore?

What are those purple dots on the edges of the wound? Looks a bit strange to me, if it's growing then cal your GP perhaps for a phone call or just go in

Not sore at all and the marks are just tiny pen marks so I’ll know if it’s increasing in size. It looks like a burn but I don’t think it’s that as I’m sure I would have remembered ! I think I’ll book a GP appointment.
