If so I feel like you would notice a tick there and from what I quickly read online is that the tick doesn't usually spread Lyme disease unless it's attached fir 36 hours. I would go get it checked out, but try not to panic too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315664 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 16:59:05 +0000 jlm22 2315664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't tell from the picture if that has rings, but if it was me, I wouldn't wait until Monday as it could be a tick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315652 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 15:44:41 +0000 catomd00 2315652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get to the Ped asap to rule out tick bite. That looks like a bullseye with the lighter area in between the bite and the outter rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315623 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 14:28:37 +0000 mamabolt 2315623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely trace the border so you can tell if it's spreading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315615 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 14:01:40 +0000 rosegold 2315615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks like a possible bullseye with some itching. would def get it looked at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315609 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:44:05 +0000 MrsSCB 2315609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to tell, but FWIW my mosquito bites look like this sometimes. I have a bad reaction to them where it gets big and red and there will be a slightly raised dot in the middle like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315606 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:33:37 +0000 gotkimchi 2315606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard to tell in pic of it looks like a bullseye? Does it in person? That would be concerning for a tick bite </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315599 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:21:42 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2315599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: thank you! So I'm not sure if it's the same bite that has gotten worse (I hadn't noticed the original bite so thought it was gone, but it's in same area making me wonder if it WAS the same bite) or if it was a new one. Yes good idea I'll look for urgent clinic! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315597 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:14:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2315597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's been a few weeks and seems to be getting worse instead of better that would concern me. Does your doctor not have an off hours nurse like you can call? Or you could go to an urgent care clinic which will be much cheaper than the ER. I would hate to go to the ER for a bug bite but I would be a bit concerned, especially if the red area is getting bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-bug-bite-see-a-dr#post-2315594 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:11:40 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2315594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was giving LO a bath today and noticed this bite with a rash around it. I feel like she has had a bite there for a couple of weeks that looked poofy but thought it was diminishing. So I'm not sure if maybe she scratched at the existing one and caused some sort of reaction, or if this is a new one. I'm worried about the redness and that "circle" around it. Should I take her to a doctor today? If I did today, it would have to be ER for big bucks. Or I could wait for<br /> Pediatrician Monday. But I'm worried too that if its bad (tick?), that waiting will be worse. What do you think </p> [attach=1335/15/nw0nvg.450x600.image.jpeg]
