    Hi Leollli. Your red line sounds much like symptoms of a spider bite. You shd see your General practitioner. They are familiar with what bites look like, and he may be able to ease your fears. Certain spider bites need treatment, so he won't laugh at you. Best of luck,

    I recognise you may be worried but  "I need answers" is not the most polite way to ask volunteer posters for help and text speak abbreviations like PLZ could be better expressed.

    That aside it is most unlikely to be a brain tumour. The symptoms would be very different. It could be an insect bite, maybe it was but you scratched too zealously,  and the only way of being sure is, as the other posting suggests, see your family doctor if you are still worried. I hope it gets better soon
