Have you been touching it? if you haven't the skin around it is too red maybe its a bug bite :0.

It looks pretty infected...maybe an infected bug bite of some sort? Ingrown hair? I'd go check it out at the doctor first thing, they'll probably just give you some antibiotics.

She thinks she got bit by something at a party we went to on Friday. It was just in the yard not really near the woods at all. She was itching it and now it hurts around it to touch.

It could be a chigger, flea, or mosquito bite.

Looks like a spider bite or staph. definitely should get it looked at before it gets worse.

It looks like a pimple kinda or in grown hair.. And looks like puss inside. Sounds gross, but I would numb it... And then try popping it to get the stuff out of it. And go to the doctor if needed!

That looks like mrsa I would definitely go to the doctor. Even if it's not it looks pretty infected.

My sister had the exact same thing on her hip! It sort of just went away after a while, like it wasnt a big deal as far as I know but there's no harm in getting it checked out?

If its anything like I've had, it's Mercia (or however you spell it) it's a skin disease that kinda looks like that (not sure cause I was little when I had it) but you should definitely see the doctor.

Could be a spider bite! Warm up a metal spoon in hot water and place you on the bite and then keep Aloe Vera on it!

It's not MRSA, a close relative of mine had it and it is much much worse than that. If it was MRSA there would be much more swelling. It looks like an infected ingrown hair to me. I have gotten them a lot on my legs from shaving, what I do is I try to pull out the ingrown hair and then put peroxide on it so it heals properly. You can extract it at home, but if you are unsure I would go to patient first, urgent care, etc.

I had the same thing. It was on the back of my leg. It was a shaving cut that got infected. I popped mine like a zit. I mean they look the same.

Pimple or maybe a big chigger or a tic that went all the way in her skin I'm not sure you should see a doc

DOCTOR. my brother had a staph infection that looked similar to that. easily treated with antibiotics, but they can get real nasty if you're not careful.

I had Mrsa and it looked exactly like this. went to the er thinking a spider bite and the doctor told me it's very common to think it's a insect bite, but it wasn't he put me on antibiotics for 2 weeks and it cleared up.
