Is this a tick bite?

I have this huge red blotch on my right leg with a little red dot in the middle. Pus is squirtin out like mad. What is it? Tick bite, spider bite…help!

Answer #1

doubt its a tic bite if its pussing out im pretty sure its a spider bite, it sounds just like one yes go to your doctor if its hurting and not healing because no one has any idea what kind of spider it was, and if it was poisonous

Answer #2

could be a tick bite… and that little dot might be the ticks head… don’t be too grossed out. I think you can try putting vasaline on it and it will pop out… not that’s only if it’s alive. you should go to a doctor.

Answer #3

yeh…was a tick bite. I have lime disease. but im in antibiotics so yeh

Answer #4

If it were a tick bite then the tick would probably still be there (not 100%) There is a good chance that I could be a spider bite but I think that a spider bite leaves 2 dots. You should go to your PCP (primary care provider):)

Answer #5

yes but I am not quit sure so yeah but really you should see a doctor if it looks to bad I would to be honest it also might be a spider bite but go to the doctor in case it is infected so you might need to have a some meds. so you talk to me and tell me how it turns out ok hope you get well soon!!

Answer #6

That sounds like a spider bite, to me…DO go to your Dr., you probably need some antibiotics…DO NOT pussyfoot around with a spider bite…they can be highly toxic, the brown recluse, and around here we have Hobo spiders…BOTH leave a pretty good scar…

So take care of this…okie dokie…??

See your family doctor. Pus that is ‘squirtin out like mad’ is a sign of infection.

Answer #8

what colour is the dot? If its black its a veruca but my sister says try rubbing vegetable oil on it.
