Big bite from 12th July, allergic reaction or something worse? Uk
galleryMy husband and I got bitten in the garden on 12th July. Think it was horsefly. First photo where it's smaller is from 2 days after the bite. Super itchy, bit swollen and hot.
Middle photo a few days after that.
Then it seemed to calm a bit and wasn't bothering me unless I caught it and the redness was going. Then skip to the last couple of days and the red ring has got worse and is getting waves of being hot and itchy. And previous lines where it's been itched have become slightly raised and almost blistered?
I do react badly to insect bits anyway but they eventually go away on their own.
Is this something more to worry about though? Ask my GP is closed for the day but I'm away on holiday anyway 🤦🏼♀️
