Weird looking bug bite/allergic reaction?


Recommended Posts

That's interesting. I am not totally convinced it's a bug bite.  Especially with the line type inflammation that is closer to your hand. Looks more like something scratched or got dragged on your skin. Bites don't typically look like that. It looks like some type of contact dermatitis with something that inflammed your skin. That is more of an allergic reaction. Similar to poison ivy. I suggest some topical steroid like hydrocortisone cream. If it gets worse or develops more severe redness or pus, then I would visit a doc to be put on oral prednisone.
