A bite?

[Nick]

Hey guys, this is concerning something that happened earlier today. I'm not sure if it happened when I was sleeping.

Well, my dad woke me up at 3:30 to tell me I slept really late, so I got up and went to talk to him because he called me into his room. As soon as I got back into my room, I sat down on my computer chair and lifted my leg up. As soon as I did that, the worse possible strong stinging sensation I have ever felt in my life hit me hard. It's right above my quad.

I'm not sure if it's a bug bite from a bed bug(couldn't be cause it wouldn't have hurt that much I think). My only two possibilities are it was a pimple, or a spider bit me. But it's strange because I was wearing sweats this morning and I would have felt a bug go up my leg, unless it was something like a daddy long legs(even though they can't bite humans due to their weak/small pincers). It doesn't hurt that much anymore, but a very weak sting will happen every 30 minutes or so.

Do any of you have any suggestions? I'm hoping it's not a Spider bite. It could become infected later on, but the swelling went away after about 15 minutes after it first started to hurt.

Keep an eye on it for a couple days. It could be nothing, or it could be a worse case scenario. The best case scenario, it's just a bug bite, and the only thing that'll bother you is it'll itch like hell for a couple days. In the worst case scenario, if your skin in that area starts to change color, have it looked at. I've heard of spider bites that cause flesh eating type symptoms. Those take a while to heal if you let them go without treatment.

It doesn't bother me anymore, Ed. It has it's little 'tinging' moments, but that's about it. I really can't see the 'bite' anymore. Thanks for your input anyway.
