I recently got a red bump on my chest that looked like either a pimple or a bug bite. It didn't hurt or itch or anything, so I just waited to see if it got worse. The red area was about the size of a nickel and had what looked like a faint zit or pimple but it wasn't big at all and I really could not tell what it was. After a week it seemed to get smaller but more red. So off to the Urgent Care and they didn't seem concerned....just said it was a minor infection. They gave me and oral antibiotic and topical Mupirocin and sent me on my way. They diagnosed it as cellulitis but I mean...looking at pics online it looks more like a Staph infection (I doubt MRSA because it never got that serious but still).
It has gotten much smaller and looks a lot better but now has a definite pimple of some sort in the center.
I didn't have a cut or any break in the skin in that area that I know of. But maybe it got a hair follicle. I HAD surfed Cardiff reef a couple times the past week or two.
Anyone ever get something similar?
