Big blister on my leg - weird?

6 replies

I've got a weird blister on my leg - middle/top of my thigh. It started as a really sore raised bump about the same size - it looked like an enormous bite and then about 12 hours later turned into a blister.

It's not a burn.

Anyone ever had anything similar?

Probably from the bite.

If you scroll down on this lag it tells you what insect causes blistering

I've had something very similar years ago. It was revolting but went after a few days. Mine was likely caused by a mosquito.

I have no idea what bit me, are there mosquitos around in England in early Feb? The house can be quite spidery though. Anyway, I've cursed whatever it was - and that's made me feel better about it...

I've had a reaction like that after an insect bite, you have my sympathies!

An antihistamine tablet and cream should help Smile
