It woke me up out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night, it was on the side of my kneecap and the pain was excruciating. I got up in the dark and brushed off something, went to the bathroom, looked at the wound and a squished black thing was stuck to it. Wasnt a wasp or hornet, but something else with a hard center, like a tick I thought. In retrospect it could have been a spider. Next morning the pain was still there and a small circular redness was around the bite. I went to the DR and was told if the redness spreads come back, if not it wasn't a tick and the pain was most likely that it bit on a nerve bundle. Well here I am 6 months later, the redness went away within 24 hours but the itch is incredible. There is now a small hard itchy bump there, like a crusty mosquito bite and it wont go away. Should I worry about this because the crusty bump is getting really firm and slightly larger. And the itch comes and goes with ferocity. Thanks for your thoughts.
