*the lighter redness is spreading. Hurts when I stand up/walk. 🙁 already messaged nurse on Maisa but just scared that it’s something dangerous.

Looks like an allergic reaction to me. Is the leg swollen and painful as well? The rapid progression worries me, I would see the emergency room of your local hospital if the pain and swelling are spreading fast.
Go to the hospital, it could be something like a blood clot where rapid action significantly helps the outcome. If it’s hurting and growing quickly, call 112 and don’t wait on the nurse to call back

Have you touched hogweed? It can cause rash/burn
Im not sure how painful it is tho

Does not look like any bug bite I’ve seen. Ever. Could be a allergic reaction. Reason might a bug bite but it could also be almost anything else. What is the most alarming if hurts when you stand. You should act on it.
Onwards to see a doctor.

How long was it since the bite? If about 3-7 days it might be a lime disease from the tick bite.

I got a real nasty mark from a horsefly once looking kind of similar, but you should have a visible hole in the skin cause they chomp through your skin.
Hopefully it’s nothing bad and goes away, please go see doctor as soon as you can
The spot where the arrow shows, looks like a bite. Havent seen anything like it tho

It’s called a fritsu. Not a nice thing to call your lover a bug though 🙁

Might be just a standard bite with an allergic reaction. My whole legs look a bit like that.

If that is a bite.. Id say gadflies can do that (paarma)
I had similar looking ones. Bit sensitive to those I think

It may be only a mosquito bite.. MAY BE.. In early summer the mosquito bites can cause bigger reaction, in my experience. ( I may have had something similar if I remember correctly) -And there are several different species of mosquitos, some can cause stronger reactions than others. In the end summer, (with enough mosquito bites also?) the reactions can be very mild.
Oh-My-God-Do-I-Try on
Get to a doctor or the hospital asap. The red line coming from the wound could mean a lymphatic infection or even sepsis.

mosquito bite most likely, or mäkäräinen (samma på english). It is just that you get more severe reactions than some. Same goes for me, each mosquito bite is the size of my thumb. Taking antihistamines shrinks mine to normal size – during summer I eat a 4x dose of desloratadine and the mosquito bites are not a problem really. When I stop eating them later in fall, the bites get bigger haha.
No need for emergency room, that would be a waste of everything. Go to a pharmacy and buy some antihistamines and corticosteroid cream. The one with chlorhexidin in it as well is nice.

[it’s impossible to determine the bug by the skin reaction alone.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/s/cD3BvNUfR8)
Go to ER immediately. Better than sorry.

Hope it’s a bite and not bacteria.
