My cat scratched a mole on my neck. It bled a lot and it's like half off right now. I put neosporin and a bandaid on it, will it heal on it's own or should I go to a dermatologist?

I have a bite, actually 3 of them on my legs. These are not like any other bites I have ever had. It is red and swollen in the diameter of... bigger than a softball, but smaller than a basketball. Pretty big. And it is swollen up about 1/4 of an inch above my skin, it is swollen enough that you can see the swelling through my pants. The center is really hard, and blistering. It itches a little, but mostly hurts. And ever since I was bit, my whole body is sore.
I don't have medical insurance, so I am avoiding going to the doctor; but is this something I should be worried about? I put benadryl on it, and it still itches. It is really hot in that area too. Any Ideas?

It's drying up and bunching and tightening the skin around it. If i open up my hands (ex. to do a high-five), it tears and bleeds. How do i keep it from drying up?Or is this just part of the healing process?

I had it removed about a month and a half ago and was given antibiotics and a healing cream, both are gone its not infected but its not healing at all. I do hot soaks, and have it covered with neosporin and a bandage which i change in the morning, after work and after my shower and i leave it open a while to air out. What should i do? Thanks

I'm sure that many people are posting on the bug bites this time of year. But my issue is that it is only me that gets bit. Ron and I stand on the same porch, sit on the same couch, sleep in the same bed, and I am the only one who gets bit!!! I wake up with spider bites. And when we are outside, i come in with many mosquito bites, but he never gets bit!! Why? Do bugs really pick and choose who they bite? And how do I stop it?

My daughter seems to have terrible luck! Last week she got stung by something right inbetween the eyes. She later told me about it and it seems to be healing up pretty nicely. Then this morning I noticed that something stung her on the top of her foot and the stinger is still in there. The area is red and swolen and is very tender to the touch. She is complaining that the inside of her neck hurts, as she describes it. She is 5 1/2 years old. She also had a sting on her arm a couple of weeks ago. Can all these stings be harming her?

I noticed my 2 year old has 2 red bumps on the lower left leg. The leg is swollen in the area and the immediate area outside the two bug bites is very very hard. He doesnt even notice the pain....but he has an incredible high pain tolerance. I touched it and he doesnt even flinch. Any ideas?

I woke up this morning to find an itchy slightly raised bump on my arm, about just slightly less than the size of a dime. its redish and itchy, yet i think its some kind of spider bite and not a mosquito bite. i say that becuz ive had spider bites before. and i just wanna know if it is a spider bite, is it normal for it to be kinda red and slightly raised/puffed.

Last night, I was shaving. I did not realize that my bug bite was still there and went over it with the razor. I ripped a small but considerable amount of skin off the area. I did not have a Band-Aid large enough, so after the blood flow slowed, I put gauze over it. I secured it with Band-Aids. Today I went swimming, but forgot to remove the gauze. I went to take it off, and it seemed to have started to heal TO the gauze. My mother suggested soaking it in the water. Needless to say, that did not work. Does anyone know how to remove the gauze without ripping it off? I started to do that, but that reopened the soar. Anyone who has had expirience with this, your advice is appreciated!

Me and my friend went swimming, and we got horrible sunburns!
on our face, lower back, shoulders, and arms. And they aren't just
the sunburn kinda pink, they are RED.

Our faces REALLY sting, and they won't stop, it well, burns.
We don't have aloe vera in my house, so. it is burning!
is there any way we can make the burning stop, but without
lotion with aloe vera??? We also live in the desert, so it wouldn't be a prob. to go get some. what do they look like,
and is there some household item that you can you can use
on a bad sunburn, and make it go away????
