I have to agree with this! I was guessing recluse bite, but I had a spot dug out of my back in July. Do it OP, the procedure doesn't really hurt and it will prolly safve you're life! |

Put some bactine on it and stop digging at it. Had exactly the same thing on the opposite side of the leg three weeks ago. I kept it covered with ointment and a bandage. It eventually healed. This was right after getting called to a disgusting house with literally every surface crawling with spiders and roaches. I stripped to the boxers at my front door and rushed my clothing to the washer the second I got home. I don't know what it was either but I assume it was a spider. I'm freaking out just trying to explain this but about a 4x4 area of the ceiling was spiders. I'm talking about a solid sheet, connected leg to leg. It was like a moving tapestry. Oh fuck I can hardly type this cause it freaks me out to think about it. It was traumatizing.

OP is alive…just barely. I was on vacation with my in-laws this entire time and got back in yesterday.
Finally got a good night's sleep last night.
It keeps getting ever so slightly larger. I'm going to call a local dermatologist to see if they can culture/biopsy it or something. The antibiotics and ointment don't seem to be doing anything, although I am faithfully taking them on schedule. Here's a pic from this morning. The other small red areas to the left (on the side of my leg) is a mosquito bite. I spent some time on the beach this past week and got torn up by those assholes. 
Still doesn't hurt at all. Getting a photo of this thing is difficult due to the location, and at f/1.8, it looks like I missed focus on it. Kinda hard to take a photo when you can't see through the viewfinder. I'll see if I can get a better pic later.

My brother in law visited Virginia several weeks ago, he had a small wound on his leg that would not heal, he developed septicemia, began hallucinating when back in Florida and was initially treated as though he was drunk be the ER.
Turns out to be some sort of necrotizing fasciitis, his leg has been flensed from just below the knee, and after two weeks of treatment and multiple surgeries he will still probably lose the leg. Be your own medical advocate and monitor that closely. |

Dude, that is some type of necrosis caused from spider or MSRA. You DO NOT FEEL PAIN BECAUSE TISSUE IS DEAD, no nerve growth.
https://www.clinicalkey.com/topics/infectious-disease/necrotizing-soft-tissue-infections.html If it is growing,poison is eating you. Nothing in the cancer realm is this fast growing or aggressive. You need biopsy to determine nature of necrosis and begin serious antibiotics. |

Thanks for everyone's concern. I'm going to call a dermatologist tomorrow. If they can take care of it, great. If not, I'm sure they'll tell me to go to the ER or refer me somewhere.
The urgent care doc I saw on Monday didn't seem too concerned. Of course it was smaller then. |

A few of my friends and I scheduled a trip a few weeks back offshore, and it was blown out by the only hurricane we've had this season.
