Is it spreading? You should mark those pink edges with a pen or marker to make sure the redness isn’t spreading.

Brown recluse spiders where you live?

Pretty much every story you’ve ever heard about a terrible spider bite was actually a staph infection. Go to a doctor.

Go to the doctor …
In the meantime mix a topical…
U can use Shea butter or coconut oil…
Mix in some baking soda….
Place on area.
I add some colloidal silver… Natural path silver wings 500 ppm …. $20 online or at sprouts.

Doesnt look good. Go to doctor and get antibiotics (doxy) for at least 4 weeks. Take probiotics also.
You dont want Lyme, believe me.

Bye bye foot

Bullseye looks like a tick with Lyme but could be any number of poisons. Definitely get to the hospital or a doctor you trust.

I would ignore it and just keep living. Then again I am not a doctor

Don’t know where you’re located and so what’s most likely, but a bite from a Lyme-infected tick, a bad and potentially infected spider bite, and a staph infection (all as mentioned by others in this thread) all seem quite plausible.
If this is it all spreading, or even staying the same more than 12 hours, I’d get to a doctor pretty quickly. While in many cases all 3 of these resolve on their own, there are significant longer-term risks for all of them if untreated, and it’s not worth taking that risk. Depending on what it’s identified as being, immediate and completely effective treatment may include an antibiotic ointment or a 10-14 day regimen of oral doxycycline. But if it’s not good and you neglect it and don’t get help, it could turn into a many-month, much larger systemic problem. Don’t monkey around.
I’m not a doctor.

It looks more like a snake bite and it definitely needs professional care whatever it is

Yes this looks like target lesion from tick bite

If you can, drink coconut milk or consume coconut meat. It’s a natural antiviral. Of course visit a dr. Aswell, like asap, that’s really big.

husband got a bad bee sting that got infected and had red around it like this. soaked a cotton ball in tea tree and bandaged it on for 10 min a day and it essentially burned up the bite/infection lol

Please actually put information on posts. 1. Where, ffs
2. When
3. Where did it happen in yard, etc.
4. Itchy or not.
Looks like infected fire ant bites.
Go to the Dr. A staph infection will get real bad real quick.

It’s looks like a chigger bite that she scratched. They can ooze for weeks. Because it’s so red around it, you should probably go to urgent care just in case.

Wearing sandals or shoes with short socks out in the grass?
Looks like Erythema migrans. This is a symptom of Lyme Disease from a Deer tick bite. Two bits likely from two ticks. Especially if she didn’t feel anything.
See a doctor asap. If I am correct this person needs antibiotics asap.
