Kinda sounds like reeaally bad fleas, which makes sense if she's been living outdoors for a while( happened to our dog last year when we kenneled him to close to the neighbor's woodpile).  Do you see any tiny black dot-sized bugs on her skin? If so, she needs a flea bath, & good flea meds (like frontline, $17 from the vet), and you would need to sprinkle flea powder where she's been sleeping & on your carpeting. If she has mange, she would have bald patches (mange is the dog & cat equivalent of ring worm- which isn't a worm, it's a fungal skin infection), I don't think there would be sores.

Please, don't put her health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect her mind and body. She must consult her doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

First assess the damage.  Is it just a little red mark?  Put it under cool running water, put a moist bandage over it (loosely), and that's all that's needed.  If you have aloe vera or burn spray, use that before bandaging.\n\nIs it blistered and/or seeping fluids?  Or is it white or charred?  Put a dry bandage over it (again, not tight) and take her to the ER.  If you aren't old enough to drive and there's no one who can drive you, then call an ambulance.

It seems that you don't know which neighbor or which pet it is.  If you do figure it out, you can talk to the animal's owner.\n\nIn the meantime, I've heard that animals don't like aluminum foil.  You can try putting some foil down over that spot (you might want to tape it down since it's outside) and see if that works.

I would try something natural like aloe vera after washing with soap and water; and if she is old enough (you didn't mention age), tylenol for the pain.  Watch the site for signs of infection; reddness, pain, tenderness or drainage. Also a small ice pack wrapped in a cloth to prevent skin burn will help.  A hug always helps too.

make a doc appt and tell her you are taking her shopping then oops we are at the clinic and take her....she wont wanna make a scene in public and act childish so she will just go. Drop her off at the door and get one of the nurses to help her in as she probably has a kindney infection. Perhaps even a Gulbladder infection.

Try oatmeal soaks and calamine lotion & try to keep her from scrachring or rubbing it in her eyes, If it's really bad she may need a doctor

It's possible if her hands aren't clean.  She could easily carry herpes on her hand.  I'm sure she washed them though in the sink on the street corner using the anti-bacterial/anti-virual lotion before you picked her up.

take it to a vet he will know

Take her to the doctor/emergency room because it could be a different kind of infection and if she is experiencing new symptoms you need to take her right away so they can help.

It could be a a number of things and hemorrhoids and a few other things I can think of are usually painful if it's just showing up!  I would suggest observing for a day or two and if it gets bigger etc.  I would suggest seeking medical attention.  BTW she can try soaking in a hot tub of water with some alcohol in it for a day or two and see if it disappears maybe something bit her!

Best is to cover it and leave it alone. It will ripen and when it is ready it is easy to lance it and get rid of all the puss. You may have to go to the doctors and get some antibiotics if it spreads.

U can use peroxide. It heals the bite and does not sting but tickle. I t works on all kinds of bites, read the label for more info.

all i can offer is to put some antiseptic cream or dissolved salt in water on it and cover it with a strong bandage... it will heal itself... maybe get permission to wear open backed shoes for a few days.\nhope that helps... its just one of those things we cant do anything about

You gave her some good information.  She needs to have some labs taken.  She shouldn't let the doc drop it like this.  She needs to see someone who will follow up with her care.  Best of luck!

anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of vinegar with a glass of water to wash it down with afterwards.\n\nSeriously.  It'll hurt but wait and see, it will butn the soreness and the infection right out.  Vinegar is GREAT for you!

Do you have a pet dog?  I used to have a German Shepherd, and sometimes one of her hairs used to 'worm' its way under the skin - very sore, I just had to pull them out.
