• I have what looks like a bite on my leg with fluid leaking from it?

I have what looks like a bite above my right ankle. It is a bite around the center and has a clear fluid that comes from the center. If I have socks on it becomes wet. Some people say ask the chemist for advice before getting a doctors appoint as it can take a long time to get one. Also, I am my 87 year old mom's primary career which means I need someone with her.

Someone with experience needs to look at it. A picture is worth 1000 words. Can you take a cell phone photo and email it to a health professional?
