I was garden yesterday morning and think I must have been bitten.
It is quite itchy and there is a strange rash appeared. Any idea what might have caused it?

I had similar a couple of years ago, antihistamine and hydrocortisone cream is your friend

That’s a tick bite. I’d see the GP. Sometimes lymes disease can develop so they might give you antibiotics.

Best to get it checked out. I was bitten on my ankle last week and ended up on antibiotics

Agree with PP looks like a bullseye rash from a tick bite. Minor injuries or GP to advise if antibiotics needed. Antihistamines and a cold pack until then

Thanks for the replies, I've now googled tick bites 😕 The rash does look at bit like a bulls eye. I'm going to ring 111 and see what they say. Thanks again for the advice x

Looks like the picture for a tick bite lyme disease on the NHS website.
