What is this bite? I have had it now for about 1 week. It is about the size of a 1 baht coin. It doesnt hurt, but its a bit itchy....I may go to a doctor (as my wife is pleading) but before that, does anyone know what it may be? I think it may be a spider bite. I dont think I am going to drop dead tomorrow, its more of an annoyance really....

Maybe put some cream on it....but what cream?

Cheers all

Difficult to tell from the picture but may be ringworm --------- if that is true clotrimazole cream will fix the problem.

Ringworm is not impossible but would usually not be so solidly red , usually just a "ring" without red inside the circle.

Nummular (discoid) eczema is my best guess. In which case it would respond to topical steroids.

If you want to hedge your bets, apply a cream containing both clotrimazole and a steroid, e.g. Myda-B which is found in almost all pharmacies.

Should it increase in size or become painful, or if you notice any red streaks along the arm leading from it, then see a doctor at once as those would be indications of a bacterial infection.

Thanks for the replies so far. Its still there....looking angry. It itches a bit...I wouldnt mind just biting the bl**dy thing off a times...

Hmm, I probably would want to get that checked for Lyme...especially since you tell me it itches as well.

Seriously, be careful with that, get it checked.

Right well....Lyme, that is a bit concerning. I will go to the Doc and see what they say.

Cheers.
