The spot appeared a week ago. It looks like a mosquito bite. Then a raised, line-shaped welt about an inch long came out from it, heading toward a lymphnode that popped out of the side of my neck, painful, visible in the mirror. And another node behind my jaw, same side. I also have a swollen node by my left breast that often swells with Sjogren's activity.
I am SO tired. Barely making it through the work day. I come home and collapse. I am going to bed now so that I can get up at 5 am to finish grading, etc.
I have an appointment with the GP on Thursday.
Your comment of the Raised line worries me. A friend almost died from a bug bite that had a raised line. keep us informed.
The spot is fading and the raised line has disappeared. The lymph nodes are also better. I am still tired but not as dire, struggling-through-the-day as before. So I cancelled my appointment because it seems to be resolving. Hopefully I'm right. Scary to hear about your friend.
