Itchy Bug Bite With A Red Splotchy Ring And A White Center, No Pain. Live Near The Woods. What Could It Be?
Hello! We live close to the woods, so we are pretty buggy here. My daughter has a quarter sized bug bite on wrist . Red splotchy ring around a white center. White center has a whole in it that is long like a fingernail puncture, not a pinprick. The whole looks kinda blackish. She says it hurts, not itches. What can this be? Brown recluse? They are very bad here.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
It could be a spider bite or lyme's disease due to tick bite. I will advice you to see a doctor.
