Question 2

Accepted Answer

Looks Normal: As injured skin heals, the body creates inflammation to do so which means fresh blood goes to the area and with it, many kinds of healing factors and cells.  One type is called melanocytes which carry our skin pigment melanin.  A healing occurs, these cells get deposited in  he area and give it the brownish coloration you see.  Over time, there will be some fading as the injury matures.

Question 3

i have this spot on my leg, a pic is on my profile. i want to know what to do, and what it may be? i have spiders in my house. maybe a spider? boil?

Accepted Answer

Possible: With the picture limitations it does suggest an insect bite-typically with a dark center and redness that spreads around. Depending on the type of insect bite, brown recluse spiders are, for example, notorious to cause massive tissue damage, while most of the others are self limited with local care. Given the fact that you have fever also would suggest seeing your PCP or go to Urgent Care.
