My wife has recently shown signs of being bitten by some type of insect. I think that it is a spider bite as it is pretty nasty looking.
The wound appears as a red swollen area about the size of a fifty cent piece. It has a black core about the size of this letter--> o <-- maybe just a bit larger. The redness radiates out from the black core in lessining degrees and is about the color of this smileys face at the center --> <-- it is also brused looking neart the center.
The skin around the center appears to be peeling sort of like a nasty burn.
This is the second time that she has been bitten with the same symptoms. Both occured at diffrent locations but in the same area. And both are on her face and within 1 inch of each other.
Ever since her first bite she has been plagued with red sores that seem to have no reason for appearing. We have eliminated everything from soaps to nocturnal scratching trying to solve the mystery.
The bite wounds are not painfull but there is a mild discomfort due to the swelling. The first one left a pockked scar similar to bad acne scars and the sores do the same thing. Just not as bad.
We cant afford the e.R. And have no med insurance either. And we make too much $ to get state aide.
We desparatly need some advice as to what we should do.
Thank you in advance. L & w smith
