To go to A&E

[Nellie8]

Woke up on Sat and my thumb is really hurting and it's got this thing on it which is growing it seems.

I will call GP on Tuesday but not sure when I'll get appointment. Or would you just go to pharmacy?

Maybe a spider bite? Any ideas v welcome as hurts quite a bit and antiseptic cream seems to be doing nothing.

You need to get this seen today because it has got worse. Don't delay it.

Needs medical attention today. Use a route of your choosing, 111 is likely your best bet as more and more A&Es require you to book in via them first anyway.

Might sound a strange question but you’ve not been around sheep or lambs recently have you ? Just thought it looks a bit like Orf . I’d get it seen too especially if it’s throbbing , growing and you have a fever .

Hi OP did you ever find out what this was? DS has something that looks v similar
