Hi Dr!I woke up 2 days ago and took a shower, after exiting the shower i rubbed the inside of my thigh on something and felt some pain. I looked down at it and it looked to be a white head zit with a red circle about 1inch in diameter around it. I popped the zit and 2 days later the red circular area is getting bigger. The red area is about 4 inches long and an 1 inch wide. It seems to be moving down my leg toward my knee. Im not sure if I got bite by something or not. I dont know if I should get medical help or not. The area around the white head that I popped is hard. How do I get rid of this?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum. From your description, most likely it is an insect bite reaction. You should seek medical help as early as possible, as it is getting progressed. You need to have tetanus toxic, antibiotics,analgesics, and anti histamines, and sometimes steroids. Your doctor will assess your condition and guide you. Please avoid any delay. I hope you will find this information useful. Thank you.
