Hi - so I'm currently in Asia for work and won't be back until Monday... No chance of a doctor until then unless I go through a right old insurance faff so I wanted to canvas opinions on something DH is convinced is a lot worse than I think it is...
I had an insect bite on the inside of my knee a couple of weeks ago. I got it in the UK.It's since cleared up and I haven't seen anything there for a few days. However, yesterday I noticed a very very itchy rash in a circle around the healed area. I'd been wearing trousers all day and had been quite hot so I think this is a heat rash and that the only reason the bit in the middle isn't covered is that it's only just healed. Nothing major. It responds to hydrocortisone cream which is helpful. No other symptoms at all.
DH is convinced it's an infection and wants me to find a doctor asap. I think he's worried about malaria or Lyme disease or something equally OTT. He's a bit of a worry wart so I've ignored him so at but the rash has got darker today... haven't told him...
Surely I'm right though aren't I... just a heat rash? Or at least something equally innocuous? Please vindicate me!
