• What is this rash?

I woke up with a rash on my leg, it’s a little bit itchy but mainly not itchy. I got the flu shot yesterday, but I don’t think it’s related. This isn’t a normal occurrence. Is it a bug bite?

Could well be a bite or contact dermatitis (i.e., poison ivy). Might improve with hydrocortisone cream. If it spreads, best to visit a local dermatologist.
