That should of helped it.
Maybe it's NOT a mosquito bite. Could be a spider bite.

Take some oatmeal, let it sit in hot water, then rest your elbow in it. Should draw out whatever it is.
Yes, it is not a mosquito bite. It has swollen to a size of a grape and I can't touch it
I'll touch it, then.

I want to squeeze it.
No, it really hurts when I squeeze it

:(
That's why I'm gonna squeeze it, and not you.

Do you have any Benydryl capsules? If so, open two or three up & pour them into a small bowl. Pour a little bit of water in & make a paste. Proceed in spreading the paste over the affected area. That should help considerably. It sounds like you've been bitten by a spider, Hedo. If it's not better by tomorrow, you had better make an appointment to see your doctor. He/she most likely will prescribe cortizone steroids & antibiotics to make the itching stop & to clear up any infection that may occur.

If you've been bitten by a brown recluse, your skin will most likely rot off...

"This was toward the end when I could walk again. I got bitten on May 31, 2004 and this was taken on July 31 just to give you an idea of the amount of time involved. The black part (necrotized, mummified tissue) was surgically removed about a month later, the day that I was laid off from my government contract job. I still have the chunk, about the size of a potato chip.

Today there is a giant scar there and I still have little sensation in my ankle."

You should have seen the pics I was gonna post at first. :P

I liked how this guy described it, though... "the chunk", "potato chip". :D

I know he was referring to the size, but it does kinda remind me of those blue tater chips...

Hedo, how is that bit on your elbow? If it is still swollen and sort to touch, you had better make an appointment to see your doctor a.s.a.p. If it is a brown recluse spider, it needs to be treated before any more damage can be done to your skin. Please take care of yourself.
