dude, if you are not screwing around, that looks an awful lot like a tick bite that causes Lime disease...get to doctor asap... make sure they test you twice if the first one comes back negative....Lime test not very accurate until it is full blown and then you are screwed.

second option is spider bite...

bullseye sores are nothing to play with

Or a tick bite. you choose.

I think it is a "Go to a real doctor bite."

And FWIW, if it is suspected of being a tick bite, it can be tremendously hard to diagnose, but if diagnosed incorrectly, it has the potential for messing up your entire life forever.

I know 3 people who suffer from lyme disease, and they were all mis-diagnosed several times and suffer maladies to this day, and possibly on forever.

G'head, ask GD to pay for your antibiotic drip.

If he sees a doctor, it will likely be misdiagnosed & treated with antibiotics instead of being drained.

My 25 yr old son had this same thing going on. It got so bad they kept him overnight at the ER and pumped him full of antibiotics....They lanced it and packed it with gauze. Not good. get it treated ASAP.

Did you pull a tick out of there? If you didn't, then it is NOT a tick bite. Ticks don't bite and run away. They bury their head under the skin and stick around until they bloat up and drop off. That takes a week or so. If OP had a tick puffing up on blood for that long and didn't notice, there are bigger problems.

I've pulled about 5 off me just this year. Probably one or two more before the cold really sets in. Itching starts a day or so after removal. If the tick is in you for less than a day, you won't get the Lyme.

I have some of those on my legs from over the years. Spider bites is what I always thought.

They have never completely healed. A couple are going on 30 years.
