Something bit me at the Hilton in Detroit Wednesday night.  At first I thought it was a zit brewing or something, but now it looks just like online pics of a brown recluse bite.  Opinions?

Boy, if I need to have half the skin on my forehead cut off I'm going to need a backup plan to keep the pussy coming.

Pics are from Friday in Detroit.

I'll take and post current pics soon - the swelled area is larger now, and it itches like hell.  Hurts a little more too.









These pics were taken while sitting on the shitter at work.

Sucks OP. Those are the only spiders I fear.

Is it eating a hole into your head?

If not...not brown recluse.

Somethin about their bites tends to leave a hole where skin and stuff used to be.

In for misdiagnosed staph infection. Majority of the time people blame it on spiders. Google it.

You should probably do something about that unless you want this to be your face.

I can't do pics, whatever your google works.

That's MRSA, yo.

I'll send you a dollar if you go to the ER and it's a brown Recluse bite.

That's either a flea or a bed louse bite and it looks to be infected.

Doctor and antibiotic.

Nah but I did go so far as to buy alcohol swabs because my forehead was so fucking greasy during my meetings in Detroit for some reason.  Are we suggesting it's related to oily skin / acne?

Yeah.  In 36-48 hours you would see ulceration, and you'd be sick as shit with fever, nausea, vomiting...

Drain it with a sterile needle, slap some iodine in it and call it a day.

That's what's weird.  It's not a zit.  I get them on my back and I can always - always - pop even the deepest fucking zit.  And I have resorted to needles to get them.  This has no fluid in it.  It's just a red, warm, mildly painful and itchy area.

Go see a dermatologist.

I had a bite on the back of my leg. No pain but a marble sized knot that began to turn dark purple and was soft in the center.

Dermatologist injected it with steroid and anti-biotic, cleared up in about a week.

The way thats spreading I'd go asap.

Get a needle, and pop the white spot. It's the poison trying to get out.
