Look at this pic? It's on Stephen's leg, It seems to be looking worse each day, it was just a tiny bite looking thing. Now it's this mess. it does not seem to be hurting or itching him, it's just ugly. Do I need to take him in tomorrow?

you should probably go have it looked at. epsecially if it keeps getting bigger.

I agree looks like he may need some meds.

Was it a tick? Deer ticks make a rash like that and can cause Lyme Disease. Have it looked at immediately. Antibiotics may be required; if left untreated, your son could develop arthritis and possibly other illnesses.

no it looked better today.

I am still watching it though. It's very strange.

outline the edges with a pen just to make sure it doesn't get bigger.

My first thought when I saw it was a spider bite, then a snake bite. Hope he's okay now.

I did circle it with a pen. (I have a tatoo there so he's way excited to have "color legs like mommy") It is a bit smaller today, but generally looks less blue and better.

Glad to know it's looking better. My friends kids look like that when skeeters bite them.....
