I had this on the back of my leg in December 2008; before I ever got sick with LD. It was like a scab, didn't itch I don't think. I didn't get tick bites until over a year later. Just found it in my pic documents and thought I'd get some input.

NO!!!!!!!!!!

I've had ringworm as a child living on a farm. That's not ringworm, not even close.

Ringworm is more of flakey rings, not with a scabby bite looking thing in the middle like you had.

I bet it was a wolf spider or something....it never hurt, just dried up and flaked off.

Looks like something definitely bit you.

Looks like a spider bite. I got a couple of them on my leg & it freaked me out. I think I put a baking soda paste on it. It healed & I don't think it made me any worse.

Here are some home remedies-

PS - didn't see that this was from 2008... Hard to tell if you got any type pf infection from it. I don't know if they can transmit pathogens. I seemed to be OK after getting bitten but it's hard to say what they may transmit.
