i was working in the garden yesterday and was bitten by what i thought at the time was a mosquito but it certainly wasnt. It VERY large hard and red and HOT like hot to touch one of the bites have a few blisters on it. Its very sensitive to touch as well does anyone know what it could have been?? one mass swollen bit ist about 8-10 cm arcorss.
been doing the google dr and i found a similar bite with blisters and i wonder if maybe its all just one bite rather than a few just that the shape is odd if thats the case its a lot larger than 8 or 10 cm long
Just a thought - my DS#2 has been bitten by a few different things in his time and our doctor seems to think that a few times they have been spiders.
The bite came up quite large, red, swollen and blistered. Apparently most spider bites dont hurt when the spider is actually biting.
The doctor cleaned the area and put a "pad" with betadine on it (kills germs and takes out the infection) then bandaged it. Had it changed every 2 days. Was on his lower leg/ankle area the first few times. Since then if he has had the same reaction i dont go to the doctor i just do the above myself and all is fine. I havent needed to bandage - i just put betadine on twice a day. Depending on the size of the bite i put betadine on then cover with a bandaid for the first day to make sure the betadine gets in.
Now, i am not saying this is what has bitten you, sounds similar and the treatment works for us.
I would get it checked cause these things can be horrid.
Good luck !
Had the same thing when I was pregnant, It was massive, draw a line around the bit mark with a texta so you can see if it is continuing to spread. I ended up going to emergency a day after I went to the doctors as it got worse and worse. Ended up just needingan antibiotic but it is best to check. Mine tunred out to be spider bite.
my daughter reacts that exact way to ant bites/mozzie bites. Big round red hard lump with tiny yellow blisters on it. First time I thought spider bite and off to dr and she was put on AB's. The next time we just waited to see what happened, it went down after a number of days. Two weeks ago she came home with 4 of them on diff parts of her body. They have all gone down and gone now, but they're terribly itchy, red, hot and sore. But def worth getting it checked out.... Just in case.
With Jess, it's just how she reacts to them. My nephew is the same except he also gets hives all over as well as the local red lumpy thing.
