What bug bite is this?

I've been getting these bites for the past year. My sister has also. They start off small and itchy. But turn into these big infections with puss in them. Please help!

You need to consider scabies. Look carefully around your bed.

One key part of your history is determining what you and your sister share in common which would make you subject to the same kind of bites at the same time. Furthermore, if a bite becomes infected, it is usually because of a secaondary infection from scratching and irritating the bite site. I recommend you go to your primary care provider for further assistance.

Thanks for adding this photograph. The bull eye nature of the skin lesion suggests bug bite and Lyme disease. You need to see your PCP immediately for full evaluation and tteatment.
