pingpongnigdong Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm not sure what to think of this bite I got 2 days ago, I've never seen anything like it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusi0n Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If your arm was a computer/network/server this forum would solve those issues, and if @budman was involved, you'd get a full diagram! GET TO A DOCTOR ASAP sc302 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted November 17, 2018 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2018 Go to your doctor or emergency room. We aren’t doctors here. @Barney T. might be able to help identify but you are best to not wait for anyone here to respond and get to your doctor/emergency room now!!!

Barney T. Administrators Posted November 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2018 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.
