Looks like a brown recluse bite. Is your skin decaying yet?

What kind of treatment did they give you? Warn your loved ones that if you start talking about brains, they should shoot you in the head.

Yeah, looks spider to me. You're lucky that redness isn't a ring around the wound though, or that'd be a sign of a Brown Recluse bite.

Trace the demarcation with a sharpie. Go to the ER if the Erythema spreads..

I believe you're allergic to band-aids.

Brown recluse?

Doesn't look like a bite to me. Looks more like cellulitis. This is almost exactly what it looked like for me when I had it near my knee.

Also... it was one of the worst and painful things I ever experienced. 0/10 DEFINITELY would not recommend.

If it's a spider bite, Mupirocin topical ointment should take care of it. What did the experts prescribe?

That's the bite of a reticulated sidewinder moose. Expect to be suddenly fluent in Portuguese and runny nose..

Did you ever get a definitive answer on what bit you? I was bit five days ago and it now looks similar: http://imgur.com/IknNN5P

Very painful. There was redness outside of the swelling area spreading yesterday but it's gone today (that's the second circle in the pic).

Spider bite with secondary infection. Trace the edges like @shalpin said to do. If it spreads, go see a doctor.Poke it with your finger(1/2)

and if it is numb and feels firm after 1 or 2 days see a doctor. Also, don't google necrotizing faciitis, which is what it might be.

draw a circle around in in permanent marker to keep track of how quickly the area is swelling. try to stay upright. If you notice the

swelling getting larger and following gravity, it was probably a brown recluse and you need to go to the hospital before it does more damage
