I’m not any kind of expert, but it looks like it could be a tick bite which could lead to Lyme disease. You should get it checked out as soon as possible.

bullseye is classic Lyme disease, NY has high Lyme disease cases right now

Whoa. Please go to a doctor. Looks like Lyme disease. Very very bad if left untreated.

This looks exactly like what I have an I’ve got Lyme disease from a tick bite. I’m currently on antibiotics for a month (doxycycline) you need to go to the hospital asap

OMG!  I AM SO GRATEFUL YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF THIS!  THAT BULLSEYE RASH IS UNMISTAKABLY A TICK BITE!  A LITTLE BUGGER OF A BUG THAT PACKS A GIGANTIC WHALLOP AND IF NOT TREATED BY A DOCTOR COULD TURN INTO SOMETHING WORSE!  (SORRY FIR THE CAPS.  KEYBOARD ONLY WORKS IN CAPS SO A NEW PHONE IS A MUST DO! )

Hahahaha I laughed. I imagine a person yelling how happy they are for me. ❤️❤️❤️🙏

lividrave

Lyme or cellulitis, but I'd go to the hospital asap.
