Bulls Eye!

[Hugo]

Last week I must have been bitten by a tic whilst out for a bimble, as I have a bulls eye on my abdomen.
It started as a red spot then an outer pale circle with a darker ring.
The whole thing is only seven millimetre across.
Question! is it worth going to the doctors.

If Its playing up I would give your gp a ring to see the practise nurse she will either sort it herself or give the doc. a shout .

Yes. Go. Don't mess about - mention to the doc it could be a tick bite.

A blood test and some antibiotic pills could stave off a lot of further problems if you have been unlucky enough to contract Lymes disease.

Go and see the doc mate, you'll probably get a course of doxycycline which will clear it up if you've got Lymes

With out seeing it it could be ring worm.. google it bud..

The 'herald' spot, yeah, ringworm and the like too.

Either way, get you to the doctor asap. Not something to mess about with.

cheers,

Go see the doc. Maybe it's nothing BUT! If it is Lymes (or anything serious) it needs attention now, not later.

better safe than sorry mate, get down the Docs and see what they say.

I'm at the doctors on Thursday morning.
It is a bite from a tic as I have looked it up and compared mine to the ones posted on the net.

Cheers guys.
