How does this look to you?

I've noticed this on my leg this evening.

It's not itchy, doesn't feel hot and I only really noticed it because it feels as though the area is sunburnt.

I have absolutely no clue what it is though. Had no recent cuts to get infected. Haven't shaved my legs in a while either (as you can probably see Grin.)

I don't feel sick in myself (apart from a cold I've had for a while.)
The only thing that's really concerning me is the ring around it. I have drawn around the edge in biro so I'll see if it spreads but until then, anyone have any ideas?

Looks like a possible tick. I'd see a GP as soon as you can as ticks carry Lyme disease and you'd need antibiotics

Oh no Sad really?
I'll try and make an appointment (and not obsessively google Lyme disease.)

Yup I agree with WakeUp, the bullseye ring is a concern and you need to get it seen tomorrow.

To me it looks like a mosquito bite that's a couple of days old, but you say it's not itchy and you've only just noticed it.

I would definitely get it checked out just in case it's a tick bite though.

Oh goodness I didn't realise.

I will call the GP in the morning.
