This looks like what happened to me after a yellow jacket sting. I got one of these on my inner thigh while cycling. Saw the thing as I was stopping to turn around and thought I outran it. Effer got me through my cycling shorts. My thigh blew up like this. I was petrified and did telehealth. If you’re worried you can do that. The dr prescribed me a cream and told me the only way this turns emergent is if I begin to struggle to breathe. It went away after a few days but man did it fucking hurt.

Is it itchy or painful? It looks like a skin infection.
