My husband got bit by something, it went from looking like a bug bite to real dark red and bigger than a quarter around, his ankle is swollen and it is very tender. The red is like it is raw and it is blood read but is not an open wound. He would not go to the doctor and I want to know what it may be. We live in Eastern Tennessee.
