Where exactly were you riding Hoops? Just so I can avoid that area 😉
Get wll soon.
Giant Hogweed, 'fer sure. Had it a few times, worst was from knee cap to ankle.
Not to sure what TJ means by "to long" though.
Cellulitis, if it's anything like I had, will make your leg go bright red, swell to an unfeasible size, and be painful to the touch. You'll have a raging temperature, and if you don't sort it, will be admitted to hospital for intravenous antibiotics.
It just doesn't look like cellulitis to me.
Clong - its ten days ago he got whatever it was. I thought but am not sure that hogweed burns appeared almost immediatly
That's two people on an internet forum that think your doctor is wrong. DEMAND a second opinion from that quack immediately, or we will be forced to blog furiously about this injustice.
If we can be bothered.
Agreed. Doesn't look like cellulitis to me either
My mate is a dermatologist. I'll ask him for you...

I say, that's hardly in the spirit of these things is it!
It's supposed to be a bunch of ill informed amateurs winding the OP up, not trained professionals who know what they're talkign about offering sensible advice (dr_death is excused because of his login name).
I fully expect to be back at the quacks and oh you just know it's gonna be phytophotodermatitis.
And cue six weeks of raging sunshine that I won't be allowed out in 🙁
j3ffo - cheers dude, all help appreciated.
Ok spoke with the dermatologist. He says it's Cat Aids & a slow painful death am afraid 🙂
yay for the dermatologist 🙂
Celluitis would be my guess caused due to the earlier bite.
Giant Hogweed is more aggressive and yes it's very quick certainly not 10 days.
Its george hincapie disease 🙂
Flat Line
Ah, see what you mean TJ. When I've had hogweed burns, the redness and itching starts at first then the blisters show up after about a week. My calf still has scars from it from about 10 years ago.
Maybe ask roper to double count his inventory just to be sure?
Cat AIDS update: the medieval skin infection is clearing up nicely. The redness is nearly all gone, the blisters are nearly all gone and there's some hefty scaring for the chicks to dig. The only arse pain now is the incessant itching all around my shin. Seriously, I'm having to be physically restrained from the sandpaper cupboard. The antihistamines are taking the edge off but the only thing that really helps is the anaesthetic in germoline.
ooh it's itchy!
I suspect it'll stop when the antibollocks run out.
