had a fever that sunday eve. ranged from 102.5-103.5. small red rash like area on my lower left shin. figured i had a flu bug that has been going around. monday eve. the red area is much larger about palm sized. it is showing blister typed textures. tuesday morning it has blisters and is oozing. go to the doctor in the afternoon. i can almost watch it get worse as i wait for my appointment. doctor immediately suggested a bite of some kind. i got an antibiotic shot and a script for augmentin and the sulfadiazine. wednesday was reall a nasty day. the bite area was enormous and working around my leg. almost 75% around. 2 blisters grew very rapidly. oozing still and just plain ugly site period. i did not have a camera handy for pictures but i finally started shooting some videos shots and keeping track. my doctor has taken me off work for at least 2 weeks. today is the 19th and the area is better but still oozesand appears that part of my leg has just kind of been scooped off. very tight feeling and occasional strange tingling and sharp pains. i have been trying to keep off it as much as possible. i also have some kind of dull sensation coming up from my backside of my leg. something just doesnt feel right, though it is a mess. i do not know if i got it at home here or at work that day. i have 3 small boys and would not want them to get something like this. i will try and send some pictures and hope i match them up with the number you give me or you can do that.
