Having recently graduated and having run my first 5k only yesterday, I am today disabled by a swollen, painful ankle after be being bitten/stung at the weekend whilst out in the forest with my grandchildren.
This is an increasing problem for my body to deal with and is annoying and inconvenient (often requiring antibiotics for infection) but none more so than this year as it will interrupt my running plan! 😡
Hopefully won’t get any worse. Keep on running x
Looks like a vampire bite! .... I thought they went for the neck.
Hope it heals up quickly.
Yuck, looks nasty.
Funny how life events that crop up now are graded against whether it will affect the ability to run! Hope you’re not out of action for too long.
Keep it under a careful eye Peanutanna - there are ticks about everywhere at the moment which can be really nasty! Hope you get running again soon!
Huge sympathy.... I too suffer overly with biting things...infected horsefly bite last year!
Rest... antihistamine... and keep a real eye on it 
Well done on your first 5k! 👏 I'm looking forward to that if I can get the confidence. I totally understand you being annoyed at the interruption to your running 😂 rest up and you'll be back in no time.
Nasty, I had one this year too, stopped me running for a week 
started as a blister, went red and swollen like yours, then went bruise yellow, red, white - a whole variety of colours. It made me so tired, I think it was an allergic reaction
Fingers crossed yours doesn't get any worse and heals up quickly.
Sounds like a mosquito bite!nasty 🦟 insects!
I sympathise, as many here have seen I suffer pretty badly when bitten by bugs or stung by nettles... however I've finally found something that helps!

This is designed for mosquito bites, you give yourself small shocks (barely felt) and it interrupts the body's histamine reaction resulting in faster healing and far, far less reaction.
So far it's brilliant! 👍🏻😁
