What kind of bug bite is this? (Picture included)?!


Question: What kind of bug bite is this!? (Picture included)!?
I just got back from the pool and realized that I had a sore on my Achilles tendon!. I don't remember being bite at the time, but now it is getting to be a bit painful and itchy!. It's also swelling up quite a bit, as you can see!. I wonder if this is serious or just a normal bug bite!. What sort of creature decided to take a chunk out of me and how can I treat this!? Thanks!

Answers:
I don't know what type of bite that is but here are some suggestions to help cure it!.

Clean the area!. Use soap and water to thoroughly cleanse the site of the bite!.
Apply ice to keep any swelling and redness down!.
Apply hydrocortisone cream to relieve redness and pain!.
Take a pain reliever and / or an antihistamine (read instructions on proper dosage and potential interactions)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont know!. It doesn't look too serious though!. If I were you I wouldn't post pictures of your feet here since there are many weird foot fetish weirdos out there who might enjoy those kind of pictures a bit too much!.

I would go see a doctor!. Why ask all of us on here when we don't have a MD degree!? For us to answer you would be our opinion which could be wrong!. Go to a doctor who can offer you more than just an opinion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It looks like you had a blister and it popped!. Put some neosprin on it!. You just may not have known and it itched when it popped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It almost looks like a small bee sting (honey bee!?)!. Could be just an everyday bug though!. Take an anti-histamine to reduce the swelling and redness!. If it gets worse consult your DR!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
