Omg I Hope My Surgery Wont B Rescheduled!

Okkk so my surgery is 8/15 this Wednesday but I woke up with a rash or bite of some kind and I scheduled a doctors appointment for tomorrow, the last thing I wanna hear is we r gonna reschedule ur surgery!!

It's really itchy and it sorta tingels and burns and it sorta swollen hard like when u get bit by a mosquito ... Any ideas what it might be? Or if you think they will reschedule??

I attached photos please excuse my nasty cellulite .... It's on my inner thighs!!

Sorry kinda graphic!!

The bullseye (2nd pic) reminds me of a spider or tick bite. Don't know about the others, if they don't go away see a dermatologist. A lot of times the primary care docs just say rub some hydrocortisone on it if it doesn't look infected.

I think it's a spider bite but then again there's so many! Someone meantion to me it could be ringworms from going to the gym.. Oh my god do they itch but I been good.. Don't wanna infected or spread it.

This is gross but they are these bugs that bite and feed on you!!! I had them in the same exact spot. The only thing you can do is try to control the itch with benadryl and cortisone cream.

They really don't look like ringworm.

It definitely needs to be looked at by your Dr.

Please let us know what you find out.

Best of luck to you!

Pretty sure its a spider bite. Doc should know. Good luck

Oh man they itch sooo bad! I'll keep you guys posted! Appointment at the doctors today at 1 pm.

Each pic looks like something different. The bullseye one looks to me like a spider or tick bite. The 1st one looks like a boil forming and the last one looks like just a simple dermatitis. All can itch. Definitely see your MD about it though. Hope it's nothing that will postpone your surgery tomorrow.
