    Default WTF is this on my face?

    About 3 days ago I suddenly felt a little sore spot under my eye. It feels and looks like a rather large mosquito bite. I suppose it could just be a zit. But it's odd that it appeared out of nowhere, has grown, and now it's a little swelled underneath my eye as well. I think one of those effin little spider bastards might have gotten me! No doubt while I was sleeping too, sneaky little bastards. Anyone think this could be a bite from something?

    Nah. I had the unfortunate experience of staying at a place that had them. You would get bit all over if you had a run in with them little critters.

    Haven't had one in years and years, not to say it couldn't happen again. But the outward swelling, then going along underneath my eye, not your typical signs of a zit. Also, there's like a center point on this, almost like where a stinger or sorts would be. Gonna ask the pharmacist and see what he recommends putting on it.

    Looks like spider bite to me. I hate when they drop down from the ceiling and land on me! Eeeek!!

    adult acne. see a dermatologist.

    I started fluticasone about a year ago for chronic rhinitis (no allergies either). While the steroid spray keep the passages pretty well open most of the time, one side effect can be adult acne on the cheeks and forehead. So far, Clearasil pads seem to keep it mostly at bay, so try those (daily, don't skip). If that doesn't at least make them less noticeable, see a dermatologist.

    Looks like a bite, though it could also be an abscess.

    I worked with a woman who got a similar random spot on her cheek, turned out it was an abscess, and left a (tiny) scar like a hole in her cheek. Def worth getting it checked out.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
