Okay, bit of a weird one here.
I had an insect bite a few weeks back; it was particularly large and hard and the scab lasted a few weeks, until I got sick of it and picked it off the other day (bad of me, I know).
This morning, I noticed a definite bullseye rash in that spot - red centre, clear margins then a raised red circle. Internet says it's a classic lyme disease rash but I didn't see a tick, nor have I been near anywhere there are ticks except for when I was wearing trousers. The rash is a bit itchy, but nothing drastic.
On the other hand, I do know we have spiders in the house and I tend to sleep with my legs exposed, so that's a possibility.
Where the anxiety comes in is that I'd much rather avoid visiting the GP if it's not actually necessary. So, given that there aren't any really nasty symptoms, am I safe to assume that the utter unlikeliness of it having been a tick means I can just assume I had a slight allergic reaction to a spider bite and wait it out?
Disclaimer: I know you're not doctors, would just appreciate some input because I'm sure some of you will know more about this than I do.
