The next day was the same, but the day after that, the lymph nodes in my groin were swollen. The bite was about two inches in diameter, with a dark spot in the middle like a blood blister, surrounded by a light red, uneven circle. It was on my right upper butt cheek, so whatever it was bit through my shorts and underwear, or crawled up my shorts and bit through my underwear. I ended up taking antibiotics and the swelling went down. Four weeks later, my skin is smooth but still discolored. The doctor said I had some skin loss. It doesn't bother me anymore, but I'm wondering, what the heck was it? I live in the northeast and we don't have the brown recluse or black widow. I never felt a thing when it bit/stung me. Doctor thought some kind of spider, but I'm not sure because it bit through clothes. Any thoughts? Thanks so much for all your help.
