Nearly 4 weeks ago now I was bitten by what i think was a mosqito. I got 3 bites on my legs and 1 on my back. The one on my calf has spread out into a purple rash about 4cm in diameter - it looks hideous. The other bites are still lumpy, purple and itchy as hell. Yesterday i had a look on the NHS Direct website and it said there that if a rash starts to spread out from the bite you should see a doctor. I rang my surgery and asked the receptionist if she thought i should see a doctor. She said yes and booked me in for Monday afternoon but said i should go to the NHS walk-in centre asap and if i get seen there to cancel my appointment with the doctor.
So last night after work the Boyf kindly drove me to the centre. I get there and go to reception and say "hi, i'd like to see someone about some insect bites that i have". The nurse looked unimpressed and said "Are you weezing?". I said no and explained that they had been there for nearly a month and all the info on their website said i should see a doctor. I had to get my leg out at the desk and when the nurse looked at it he said it was fine and i should put a cold compress on it and elevate it. I explained that i had been doing this for a month now and i was just worried that it may be infected or something.

Basically they looked at me like i was an over-reacting idiot and gave me a small leaflet that contained even less info than i had already read on the NHS website and told me to go home. Fair enough if there's nothing they can do but i only went there because the website said that i should! I felt a bit miffed to be honest. I guess they must have seen a million bites this summer and are sick of them. But still! Mine looks awful! Everyone that i've shown it to gasps in horror.
The worst thing is it totally fucks up my outfit plans for this evening.  Bastards! (mosquitos, not the nurses!)
