Tick bite???

[o3jeff]

Does this appear to be a tick bite? Noticed it this morning on my waist and I can't really see any bite marks and I don't seem to have any symptoms. It's roughly 1/2".

Any thought while I'm stuck here at work? Bite of some kind? underwear band rash? Growing a nipple on my waist?

Pretty hard to take a picture using a camera phone with a touch screen without anyone in the office wondering what I am doing!

Looks like a burst blister, maybe from rubbing from the waistband of your clothing.

Must be a real slow day at work!

That's what I was thinking since there is some peel around the outside. With plenty of ticks around I am paranoid about getting bit by one.

I don't have pictures for reference, and I realize every bite and reaction to the bite is different, but Brian's tick bite last year that resulted in Lyme Disease definitely did not look like that. I agree on the peel around the edges. With all that riding you've been doing, it's quite likely from friction.

Looking online it appears different and Stitch showed me his bite the other week(about the same place were my mark is) and since I can't find the bite mark I will just keep an eye on it

That's clearly herpes.

Blister...riding...friction. Same difference.

could be the beginnings of a skin tag. I developed one in the same spot along my waisteline this winter.

I'll spare the details of my self surgery to remove it. :lol:

You should ask Brian about his at-home removal of the one on his forehead.

No more showering with you!

did it involve dental floss, a razor sharp filet knife and a half a fifth of booze? :lol:

I don't think it's a tick bite either. Aside from that I'm staying out of this...

I don't remember, but I was definitely sober. There might have been nail clippers involved???

Should I Dremel the area now before it comes to that?

If I tricked someone into going that low to suck something, it isn't going to be my hip!

As the recipient of many tick bites (too much time in the high grass at Shenny golf course in Groton) that does not look like any bites I have gotten-- mine are red dots, followed by target rash if you are unlucky (have been twice). Got a nice bite on my @ss earlier this year.

Ringworm? Have you been playing in any sandboxes?
