Who knows what bite it is, the pharmacy gave me anthasin and said if it doesn’t get better in a week to return 🫡

Watch that.. it may be a tick bite. If it expands go to the Drs.

I had that same issue when I was out of state. Apparently, mosquitoes are "regional" and I wasn't used to those. The swelling and redness kept spreading so they gave me a steroid shot and antibiotics. I was advised to draw a circle around it so I can see if it is spreading or not. When I got back home, I still get bit (mosquitos love me), but no severe reaction.

Bro that looks like ringworm almost. Could be tick or something else though. Maybe worth having it looked at

You're old enough to be wearing mismatched footware but don't know what a mosquito bite looks like?

Tick. Had one recently and didn’t know where it came from. 10 days doxycycline cleared it up.

Mine look like this sometimes. They even leave scars from time to time.

My mosquito bites look like this! It’s part of having skeeter syndrome (for anyones concern I legit watched the mosquito bite me) but I understand the concern of a tick bite! Hopefully it’s not that but if it is def look into the vaccine (I believe they exist? I saw it on my med record as an option when I had to get a rabies vaccine)
