Help! Wtf is this?

[wtfisthis3]

Hi
i went to bed last night and was absolutely fine. I woke up this morning with something weird on the side of my wrist and I have no clue what it is, it’s been 45 minutes and hasn’t gone away or improved and I wasn’t lieing on it during the night. It’s a yellowish patch and a red ring around it but not quite a bullseye. There’s also no spot or head in it eg a tick bite. It’s absolutely throbbing, like when I touch it it’s agony

anyone know what this is?

I'm allergic to insect bites and it goes exactly like that. Antihistimines quick?

Spider bite?

A mosquito bite, perhaps?

Looks like a bite of some sort. Put some ice on it and take an antihistamine. Maybe scour the room to see if you find any wee nasties!

And of course typically I’m going to an important event at work today hence the early start and really can’t miss it (unless I’m dying, haha)

I thought it was a bite but there’s absolutely no puncture marks at all, unless they can be microscopic without being seen?

Have you taken an antihistamine ?

Ringworm?

Yeah, I have a Fexofenadine everyday for hayfever anyway so took that as normal around 30 minutes ago

Take an antihistamine and if it looks like it’s spreading draw around it to show how much/quickly that a happening.

Could be ringworm

Is it a blister in the centre? Very odd, hope someone can give you an idea, perhaps better to nip to a chemist and see if they suggest antihistamines. Good luck, hope you're soon better.

Ouch looks nasty, can you pop into a pharmacy on your way to the event?

Impetigo?

I think a bite - possibly mosquito or spider

ringworm maybe

It’s just a ghat or something bite you’ve reacted to.

get some germoline on the way in - it’ll numb it a bit. take an extra anti-histamine

Check in with the pharmacist if it gets bigger.

Ringworm maybe

Ringworm doesn’t appear within a few hours out of nowhere. That looks like a bite to me, possibly spider or mosquito. I’d mark the ring, take some antihistamines and anti inflammatories and try not to scratch it.

Can I just second those who are saying that's not ringworm - DP has ringworm occasionally and it doesn't look or behave anything like that. Hope you get it sorted OP.

Did you use a hot water bottle?

I saw the mozzie bite my hand - it swelled up really quickly, red, hot. Drew a line around it and it was spreading even though I couldn't quite believe it as it seemed so ridiculous

I've just finished a course of antibiotics for an infected insect bite. 🫣

Looks like mosquito bite to me

It’s a mosquito/gnat bite. It will be itchy for a while and then go

If it has a blister in the middle then it’s probably a spider bite. I’ve been got a few times now. Antihistamine will help.
