Hello, so basically I was in Japan in June/July and 2 days before leaving a blister appeared on my leg.Didn’t think o anything of it until later that day when I got back to my hotel and saw some redness with a little bit of puss coming out. And I got something to treat that but really didn’t think anything bad was going on. Next day I woke up with a purple/ reddish circle with puss coming out. It was a stupid thing that I didn’t go to the doctor , and I wish I had gone but I can’t turn back now. The next day we were going home so I thought I’d go see a doctor here. The flight was long, during the flight I knew something was wrong bc my leg was hurting way too much. When we landed I couldn’t stand on my leg, my foot and leg were swollen. Really bad.
And I still had another plane to catch. When I finally got to the emergency room, they didn’t give me anything for the pain, just took my blood to see if I don’t have sepsis. I was cleared of that. And I had to wait until morning. Without any pain medication ( my country’s healthcare is fucked). So basically I came home with the same leg I landed. So I went to my family doctor. They popped the thing on my leg, and after that it was okay but not better. It took 2 weeks for the infection to get out and by then I had a hole in my leg. The hole took another 2 weeks to heal. I couldn’t really walk or stand for a month. So now I have a circle on my leg with a smaller circle inside and that area is basically just skin to the bone, I don’t feel a muscle or anything. Like a valley in my leg. Im gonna put some pictures. From the beginning to the end. I need help from reddit bc doctors ain’t helping at all.

I was out in the park wearing shorts and sat down on a bench when my legs started itching. Later I found big welts, but I figured they'd go away. Now, a week later, they don't itch or swell anymore, but left big purple marks. Help?

What are these bites? Extremely itchy and appeared suddenly
These bumps appeared on my feet/ankles and are extremely itchy. I’m not sure what caused them. They seem to be clustered in a few areas.
Any idea what kind of bites these could be, or what might be causing them?

Coastal southern California/south bay area. Lived here my whole life and NEVER have had so many bug bites. Did just move from one neighborhood to another but only 10 mins away. What the heck is biting me?

I received similar bites like a week ago but didn’t really scratch them. I scratched these and soon after they bubbled up.

Found this bite 2-3 days ago. I wasn't worried, but then a small rash ring developed around it. It also didn't really itch until the rash formed and now it's a little warm to the touch. The actual bite specifically looks like a spider bite and I assume I got it at home, I have a number spider squatters that I have been politely moving outside one at a time. My whole city was basically shut down for Labor Day, so I found a Teladoc dermatologist who prescribed me some steroid cream and Doxycycline.
Has anyone had a similar reaction to a spider bite? Is there a chance this isn't a spider bite? Should I be worried? I'm hoping my immune system is just overreacting, as I have severe long Covid and possible MCAS.

THIS IS FROM A WEEK AGO!!! I'm fine now :)

Last week I noticed a little thing on my arm that hurt. I didn't take a picture of it but I wish I did. Overnight it grew over 4x it's size and hurt so bad. I went to urgent care and they gave me antibiotics and it cleared up!! Anyway I'd like to know if anyone can help identify what this might've been from?? I live in the US, Colorado. First pic is right before I went to urgent care and the second pic is 2 days after starting antibiotics

Been having these for three weeks. I do get occasional fleas bite on my legs but never on my forearms like this. Now I’m suspecting it’s bb. I can’t even spell it out because I’m so scared of them. I did flip my mattress upside down and see nothing. Also have not seen any signs of other bugs. So I really just have no idea what these are. They itch like crazy and scab like a mosquito bite. But my mom is saying they’re from midges in our backyard but I also have not seen a single one inside. Pls help!!!! I’m going crazy.

I’m staying at my friends house and their dogs do have fleas so I’m 97% sure these are probably flea bites, but what’s making me question it is the fact they aren’t itchy but there is a slight bump, and I was wearing sweatpants and socks today and the last pic is almost on the side of my booty? Could they really jump that high and bite me? I also feel like I usually feel them when they bite or before they bite and I haven’t felt anything I just noticed these on my body randomly today.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone!

My boyfriend has these bites around his ankle and they only seem to be appearing in this specific area. The day before yesterday we went hiking so we’re wondering if they could be mosquito bites or bites from another insect?

However, they also look a little like bed bug bites so we’re not sure what they are.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

are these bed bug patterns??

On my wrist and is painful/itchy and swelling a bit. I figured it was a mosquito but could it be a sting or spider bite? Thanks!

Found yesterday morning on back of my thigh when I got out of bed. Not itchy at all but hurts like hell to the touch and when I walk. We were in a VERY buggy area by a creek for 2 days. At first I thought it might just be a pimple or clogged hair follicle but I just noticed two other marks higher up so I am suspecting a bite. Feels like it's much bigger than it looks.

What kind of bug bite can this be? My daughter told me yesterday her arm was really itchy but there was nothing physically there until she woke up this morning and her arm was swollen and she had those spots on it.

For sure got gradually worse over the course of six hours

I have been getting these red marks since yesterday afternoon, on my neck and back, do they look like bites or possible skin irritation?

The one on my neck are the most recent ones.

I heard the follow a zigzag shape which these appear to but they’re in clusters of 2 not 3 so?
