What kind of bite is this?

Can anyone help? Is it fine to leave? Can't get into docs.
Thanks

It looks like an allergic reaction, I'd take some antihistamine and keep an eye on it.

Rub antihistamine cream on it and take Piriton ,keep a close eye on it.

Draw around it so you can check it’s not getting bigger & agree with take antihistamine

I had a bite like that, I went to see a pharmacist for advice.

What did they say littlefluffyclouds?

I get bites like this regularly. Is it insanely itchy? I think mine are harvest mite bites from long grass when walking the dog in a particular field - since avoiding it I haven’t had one.

Just to keep an eye out for any increase in size or excessive swelling or temperature. I bought the cream he recommended and it really helped (I'm at work so can't remember what it was called!)

Could it be a horsefly? They're vicious - I went to the out of hours docs with one a couple of years ago because I thought it looked like I'd had some sort of horrible allergic reaction, but he was fairly laid back about it because apparently that's just a standard horsefly bite. (I knew that's what it was because I saw it. They're big - like enormous bluebottles, but yellowish. Bastards.)

There are similarities to the classic bullseye tick bite rash.

I would try your pharmacist in the first instance or do oyu have a walk-in nearby?

I agree try pharmacy but looks like a tick bite to me

If it's a tick you need to get it treated ASAP- both my parents had Lyme disease from tick bites walking near deer.

i have a bite and chanced upon this website

I also think it looks like a tick bite. You may need a blood test (for Lyme's disease) and antibiotics. Please see your GP, OP!
