Giant red blotches of itchy doom...

[Goat Whisperer]

...are on my skin. they are swollen about 4-5 inches in diameter. I woke up with one on my lower arm, one on my upper arm, and one on my thigh. They suck, anyone know what they are or how to get rid of them?? They are really weird :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

Are you on any medications?

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Nope. And I haven't touched and plants at all in like the past 5 days (AKA it's not like, poison Ivy or anything)

 

[CMDxAbsolution]

new detergent? New soap? Whens the last time you washed your sheets? (not implying you're gross, just suggesting ideas)

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Not any of that....

bug bites

 

[Goat Whisperer]

They look like bug bites. But you know how they are usually little swollen areas and then red around it? It's like gigantic swollen areas and the redness doesn't extend from the swollen parts. At least 5 times as big as usual.

my youngest gets like that with mosquito bites

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I've never reacted this way before and I have had a lot of mosquito/bug bites

 

[AUFred]

Eat anything unusual

 

[Jessica]

oh that sucks...wonder why..one of my fingers were swollen months ago...we never figured out why :/

get better soon and I hope you figure out why you have it

Could be some sort of spider bite.

4 to 5 inches???? They sound like mighty big bites if from an insect or spider....you must be having a reaction to something I think.


I'd be getting that checked....take a piccy Bri, so I can see.

Hives?

 

[Taralynn]

Hives?

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Shouldn't they be spreading though?? lol They haven;t really spread.. basically stayed the same all day.

 

[cam elle toe]

PHOTO Bri....I wanna see.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

lol one sec I can't find my camera :\

 

[Johnag]

for some reason this thread inspired me to go watch bot fly videos on youtube, now I'm utterly disgusted but to fascinated to stop.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Okay I got some pics, this one actually looks worse in real life, the photo just sucks I geuss lol this one is like the other one but like twice as big, the swollen part... it's just not as well defined.



This, however, shows how big the swollen part is 0_o
