I looked at them closely and it looked as if the skin on the small dots turned brown. I never really refrain from picking at things like that and scraped the skin away. One day later, the dots looked like very tiny craters, and the dots haven't got bigger but I'm just a little worried. Any suggestions on what possibly bit me???

It is rock hard, dark red, with two openings that look like fang marks. She's been dizzy and fatigued since first noticing the bite about a week ago. I realize you can't give medical advice but what sort of doctor would be able to identify the bite? The first physician she saw at her HMO pooh poohed her symptoms and the bite itself.

Some have stated they were bitten several days prior. Bites in sensitive areas such as the face, near an eye, fingers, etc, and those showing necrosis, need to be properly treated quickly to avoid scarring or even amputation (especially fingers). Also, think about bites to children and infants. I think the advice on this site is best utilized by sharing the info with a health-care provider that will incorporate it into your treatment. Without having previously gone through the experience of of successfully treating a bite in the past, a novice is likely to miss important medical signs, and may endanger their health, lose vision, or lose a limb. In some cases, there is no time for mistakes. I’m concerned that many of the affected individuals posting comments want to exclusively self-treat.

I am now 25. I remember I was very sick after the bite and just could not fight the infection well. I ran several courses of antibiotics before healing. Later in life I always had problems with that leg, like in sports, lots of running would cause it to flare up and be painful and I developed 2 tiny holes in the cratered scar area on my thigh that would leak out fluid and I would be put on antibiotics again and again. Now the area looks like a crater in my thigh with 2 scars in in at 2 tiny pin sized holes that bug the crap out of me....they get hard and the skin looks black underneath them but nothing comes out of the holes . The cratered area has never really gained back complete feeling . wondering if anyone knows what the heck this is and what i should do?
