      Kinda looks like a tick bite/lyme (that red ring). Might be worth mentioning to your doc next time you get bloodwork.

    2. No what’s mildly interesting is how much you look like my brother wtf

      Edit: of course I can’t upload a pic

      thanks for the concern, all. this was a few months ago. I went to an urgent care. the bite disappeared within an hour or so. I had a full tick panel and it was fine.

    4. A note on Lyme disease:  it takes 24-36 hours of blood-feeding for a tick to transmit Lyme to its host.  While I don’t know OP I’m fairly confident most people would notice a fully engorged tick dangling from their forehead.

      horrible giphy is horrible

      I wanted so badly to find a quick gif of Hermes from Futurama with the brain slug on his head….BUT NO!!!

    6. Bro looks like Robert Crumb. I’m a pale ginger as well and bug bites look devastating on my skin

    7. This looks like skeeter syndrome (from a fellow sufferer)

      Assuming it’s not lyme, of course

    8. An army of commenters is going to show up to tell you you are in fact already dead in 3…2…1…

    9. As someone equally pale and freckled, yeah. All bug bites I get look way worse than they should. It’s the thin skin, everything that happens to me is WAY more visible no matter how mild.
