Circle of skin missing from my face skin, what is this?

[Anonymous]

Ok so I woke up one morning to this perfect circle of skin missing from my face, like a chunk of skin was cut off... started off not as bad but over the past days it’s gotten worse (you can see the progression in pics) it hurts and is very ugly. Any help on what it is could help. I know people are gonna say “go see a doctor” but I’m not in my country atm so I have to wait till I’m home. PLEASE help me

Gross details : it’s not scabbing, some liquid is coming out... it was like yellowish on the plaster. It hurts & I have not itched it or done anything to cause future damage. I completely avoid that area when washing my face

If you're in England why can't you see a doctor? Don't you have insurance? We have free health care here anyway and they aren't likely to question your residency status.

To me it looks like a chemical burn by the way its blistered. Doubt its anything serious that won't just clear up but you're not going to get good advice here, see a doctor or if you really can't then you can speak to doctors using various websites

where are you traveling? it could be some kind of poisonous spider bite and the poison is slowly melting that are of skin. i almost want to say its a brown recluse

I’m in England haha

[vald9inches]

maybe it was a tick or something from a previous guest or pet?

For now just clean the wound and keep the area clean. Cover it with a bandage if possible.

If you develop any strange effects you need to see a doctor no matter where you are.

Just wondering if you go to bed with jewelry on and potentially could have scratched your face in your sleep.

you are in england so go to a health centre... it looks infected and the longer you leave it the worse it will get and so long term scarring is more likely. a health centre will not turn you away or make you pay there and then i assure you

It could be skin cancer or it could just be fungus like ring worm. I don’t think it’s life threatening but definitely needs to be looked at by a doc. If it doesn’t go away.

In the first picture looks like ringworm and ringworm is contagious
and can be caught in any way. A anti-fungal cream will help if that's
what it is.

Looks like impetigo, which is a staph aureus bacterial infection. It’s usually treated with penicillinase-resistant beta-lactams.

Funnily enough, I’m learning about this right now, so if I’m right, it would be quite a coincidence.

If your in America then you had best see your doctor about this ! Thanks

Just an infected zit or something just clean it with alcohol and put some neosporn on it hopefully it’s gets better

Most likely a staph infection, based in the yellow colored drainage. It can only be treated with antibiotics.

[Landshrk0068]

I don't know, but I bet a Dr. could answer this question, you should make an appointment.

[Agape93]

Go to the doctor. You may need their help.

That's a bite of an Alaskan Bull Worm

Musquito bite maybe?

[Asker]

No it’s wayyyy too big to be and I’ve got bites and they never react, but thanks for the comment!

[Clarke498]

I just meant that maybe it's not "missing skin" but a infection?
