Does anyone know what's bitten me?

Started itching two days ago. Thought it was just another Midge bite. Itching got worse last night and I applied some Sudocrem before bed which helped.
The itching woke me up an hour ago and I saw this!
The itching is insane. Theres a couple of smaller bites next to it which are 'normal'.

Thanks. I've no idea. I've been googling since 4.30am and the first thing that came up was a false widow 😭🤢 🕷

I think I'll take myself off to the walk in centre. I'll report back!

Hopefully you got sorted at the walk in centre. If not, draw a ring round it to keep track of the inflammation and get to your GP.
Ice packs and antihistamime might help the itching
