• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Thank you. It is just unlike me to have "spots" like this so I am kinda curious. I thought perhaps I got spider bit, But I don't think that is it. I hope it isn't a clot.

Yes:

If it is Lyme, it really helps to get treatment as early as possible.

I hope you get it diagnosed quickly because then your mind will be at rest and it can be treated because as with all health things, the sooner treated the better. Do let us know how you get on.
God bless you.

If they catch lymes early on while still in the rash stage it's very treatable with simple antibiotics.

If it's warm to the touch it could be cellulitis or a bite could be kicking over to cellulitis, general infection. Spider bites can turn to MRSA which is very bad. Staff infections get warm to the touch. In any case needs to be treated. Go find a walk in clinic today or call your doctor today Scottie and if it turns out to be nothing you will at least know...

Believe this, and watch your body start to fight. This is totally related to one of your questions of late. Ask Him, and He will tell you what to do, or not to do, after all, we are His design. Creeping things are also His design.

I got cellulitis from a black berry thorn in 2011 and it looked very similar. But as everyone has pointed out, have it looked at, being warm is a good sign that it could be infected whatever it is and the sooner it is caught, the better.

Lyme disease is not painful but often causes flu like symptoms
Yes, your pic does look like lyme disease but could be many other things as well
looks like a good idea to check it out

My advice: See a doctor. :) He will give you the best advice and probably be able to fix this issue.
