Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd go see a dermatologist NOW. That could be a melanoma. Seriously. OP, ditto. Get to the docs ASAP. Google "Melanoma Images" and you'll see why. People die from this. Really. |

RF It's an infected puncture. If you have poor circulation, you can get a would and not feel it. Get it checked out for peace of mind but if it was cancer, the doc would have referred immediately. They DO have the skills to delineate skin cancers.

Urgent care doc mostly agreed with NavyDoc. Looks like some sort of bite, with a little necrotic tissue in the center. He put me on Bactroban ointment and Cleocin antibiotic. Hopefully this takes care of it. If not, he recommended I go see a dermatologist.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Almost certainly not a spider bite. Spider bites are defensive, so you'll know if they bite you. Most 'spider bites' are from some sort of parasitic insect/arthropod. Spiders don't just go around biting people for the hell of it.
