Hope you're leg gets better soon! Good thing you went to the doctor when you did. Dr. Forumites comes through again!

forget mom and the girlfriend, check with one of the medics at your station and then head for urgent care or ER. Looks like you need antibiotics at the least.

If it gets bigger, I'm definately going to a doctor or the hospital. Has anyone seen one like this before, sorry if the pics are blurry, took them from my cell...

Last summer I was picking greens in my garden and got a bite on the side of a finger. There were two yellow places where it had bit - and the sweelling was getting wrose with redness. It throbbed. I went to ER at Calvert Memorial Hopsital and took antibiotic. Cleared up immediately.

My mom and girlfriend put peroxide, neosporin and gold bond on the bite and bite area last night, is this something I should be worried about, the bite area is still the size of a softball.

Please take yourself to the Doctor or ER. Friend of mine went to crapfeast one summer. He notice a few days after a some bite on arm. It started getting worse as time went on. He ended up in hospital for four weeks. It was a bite from a spider. Don't remember what kind it was. Not to scare the hell out of you but my freind almost lost his arm because he waited weeks before doing anything about it. Thinking it would just go away. Not saying you have a spider bite but what I see in your picutes you really need to go see someone.

See, when you go to a "crapfeast" this stuff can happen. I always shy away from crapfeasts.
