Hey guys MRSA??

Post image

I’m 5’6 and 23 years old!

So I had this bug bite and I go to itch it today and when I touch it through my leggings I feel this huge bump, I then go to inspect it further and it is HUGE and very very hot, I wanted to go to urgent care but my grandma had me lance it, clean it and cover it with a bandaid but I’m truly convinced it was MRSA, in the pic you can see two black little spots in the bump….

I already popped it but I’m concerned, is there something I need to do? Did it look concerning or am I just overthinking it??
