Unidentifiable bite on the foot?


Question:
I was walking outside one night and felt something pierce my foot. I brushed it off but didn't see what bit me. My foot has been swollen for over 3 days and the bite it self is red and black. My entire foot is swollen, red, sore, and itchy. what should i do?

Answers:
Based on your description and the fact you were bitten, you are very likely having a case of cellulitis. It is a serious bacterial infection of the skin. You need to see you doctor as soon as possible to put you on antibiotics. It will spread if left untreated.

Get to a Dr. or go to the ER immediately. You have an infection that could kill you. The same thing happened to me. It took weeks of treatment to get over it.
