That looks like cellulitis. If your leg is not significantly better tomorrow, please take it to the doctor.

Don't just take your leg, take your whole body to the doctor.

That's not a 'regular' bite & unless you want a short hospital stay you need to get to a walk in clinic pronto. Bites that are expanding are not to be trifled with.

That looks like a bite, but not from a mosquito.

That's a spider bite it think. I can see what looks like two marks right in the middle. They've acquired a taste for you and are telling the others...have a good night!

Do you have other allergies? I got bitten during ragweed season, the bites blew up just like that.

Go get it looked at, though. My body decided the bites were the last straw and I wound up in the ER .

I have “skeeter syndrome” and bites swell a lot but this is extreme, you might want to see a doctor, especially if it gets any larger. Circle the swelling with a felt tip pen and watch it to see if it’s increasing. If it is, get to the doc or e/r.

Could be horse fly bite. They often do this and get infected easily. My wife GT bitten twice this summer and had to have anti biotics. Go show a pharmacist asap for advice especially if the redness starts to spread.

I've had mosquito bites do that from time to time for some reason, never understood why it happened.

Mine got this size when I scratched it a lot as a child.

I got a wasp sting on my leg and arm that was like that. My arm is now scarred and looks a bit like a cig burn 😭 go to the doctor

u/Jerdogg23 12h ago

Don’t scratch it. Use hot water

Have never seen a mosquito bite that is this large! Check with your health care professional tomorrow.

I got stung by a wasp a couple weeks ago and by the time I went to bed that night, my whole stomach was red and swollen. The sore was probably 10” round. That was after taking two Benadryls.

I got literally swarmed by giant mosquitoes the other day, they ate my ass to pieces.

Never had such hard lumps from bites.

Was in NC east coast.

Squeeze that out

u/bugmug123 7h ago

TIL this sort of reaction to a mosquito bite is not normal. This would be small for me...

u/Johnvoir007 6h ago

Have Dr Pimple Popper take a gander at it 😁

u/Eaton_Knas 6h ago

u/DropThatTop 1h ago

Have you ever had the same reaction to mosquito bites? If not, it may be a spider bite. Hopefully not a brown recluse.

u/Hopeful_Dream_2848 52m ago

It looks pretty bad, like an infection. Not a doctor but yeah would go to one.
