Even my doctor did not know what the problem was when he was looking at it in real life.

Part of the problem is that I waited until my normally scheduled appointment, a full 2 weeks after the bite happened.

There was no bulls eye when I looked at the bite. Nor was there a bulls eye when my doctor examined the bite area, only an odd shaped dark reddish area.

However, it was as I said ... a bite not something else.
