Avatar f tn Thank you. I saw a doctor but he dismissed the spider bite and said it's all in my head or it could be my nerves. He gave me vitamin b denk for my nerves but the pain is still there.
Avatar n tn They have been there for over a week and are quite itchy. Each bite has a central ***** mark, like a beesting, and is swollen like a big misquito bite. The skin on top of each bite is dry and flaky (new today) and the skin around the cluster of bites is getting dark, like a slight bruise. I suspect that I was bitten by a spider while asleep. There was never any pain or stinging, just a lot of itching.
Avatar n tn My husband has big bites on his inner thigh, penis, and just under his scrotum. They are itchy and painful. Not mosquito bite. Could it be spider bites. Read up on bed bugs and I don't think that is the answer either. Do you have any suggestions? Could it be baby spider bites???

Avatar f tn The first one looks exactly how my recent one looks now (picture) but now after treating it with hydrocortisone, the bump went away and now its a flat surface except that area turned my skin white. I have an idea that it might be a spider bite but I am not sure. This bump is quite small, circle shaped, it irritates, and it has two little holes as if i got bitten.
Avatar m tn About 6 days ago I noticed what looked like a spider bite on my right leg, it itched like crazy. I figured it would resolve itself over the next couple of days so mostly ignored it. I then started to notice other spots, they itch the same but look different. two on my left forearm they showed in a linear pattern, and two on my left leg that are also in a similar linear pattern.
Avatar m tn Hello, It can be an insect or spider bite. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Also apply calamine lotion. If the symptoms persist then get it evaluated from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn While this is normal, it does increase the risk of infection developing in the bite. Before a bite becomes infected - here are some measures you can take to prevent a large spider bite from becoming infected. Follow these steps two or three times a day: Wash the bite with warm soapy water. Apply some diluted hydrogen peroxide (mix ½ water with ½ peroxide). Wash off the peroxide after two minutes. Apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment.
Avatar m tn im thinking it may be a spider bite but not quite sure. i dont have the funds available at the moment since urgent care wants 50 bucks just to look at you. i figure i can get some 'online-advice'.. thank you for all input and i will be monitoring it for the next couple days and see what it does..
713471 tn?1229568771 I recently developed a strange burn like rash on my forehead. At first, I thought it was a big zit forming, but it continued to grow bigger. It feels like a burn and looks like a burn but I never burnt myself, and it's been there for a week. I'm wondering if maybe it is a spider bite or something. I really don't know what to do about it, and it's not going away. It's pretty raised, oddly shaped, red, bumpy, burns, and hurts if I touch it. Please help me out.

Avatar f tn I thought it was maybe a bug bite or a spider bite, because I am allergic to spiders and remembered last time i got bit I got a rash, but it didn't last this long! Any ideas??? Help!!!
Avatar n tn Does anyone know anything about a spider bite ? I've never had one before but i think I have one.
Avatar f tn 2 days ago I got what I thought was 2 mosquito bites but now look more like a spider bite... I dont know if I should worry? or just leave it alone... I have dark pink circles where the spider bit me ( size of a nickel)... Is there anything I can put on them so they go away?
715068 tn?1392933532 Went to his vet, turned out to be a spider bite. He was given antibiotics, antihistamine & pain medication. We go back in 5-7 days to make sure it's all cleared up.
Avatar n tn We just were able to buy milk today for our supper, not a lot of extra money for doctor. Should I put bakingsoda paste and tough it out or should I go to Doc. I do not know what else they could do except maybe steriods? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/261205'>rash or bites on breast</a>.
Avatar m tn Hi, Unless a spider is observed in the act of biting, it should not be assumed that a spider bite has occurred. Many spider bites, including those by some dangerous species, are relatively painless at first and may go unnoticed if not directly observed. Treatments for more minor bites should be as for any puncture wound. The wound should first be encouraged to bleed to wash out any foreign material and debris.
1470814 tn?1286732614 It was all extremely itchy but if I scratched or even rubbed it, it would burn. A few days after the bite, all my minor complaints became quite serious. For example; I was getting a slight cold and the sniffles turned into a major lung problem. I finally treated myself with penicillin and was ok after about 4 weeks. Any idea what could've bitten me?
Avatar n tn Went to the doctor who said it was a spider bite and put me on an antihistimine, quarter zone and a strong dose of antibiotics for 3 days. Its now itchy and sometimes I feel like tingling feeling. Its still very red and swollen in the mornings and evenings but during the day seems to deceive me and looks better. I"ve kept it clean and tomorrow is the last day of antibiotics and quarter zone etc. How long does this last?
Avatar f tn t know about spider bites, you actually posted in a forum dedicated to Lyme disease, but in general for anyone if you're experiencing anxiety and concern over a medical condition, then it seems worth it to get it checked out.
Avatar f tn BUT I SURE WISH he would have his home professionally sprayed, he just bombs it, not sure if that helps, he did get new carpet and she has been bite free for 2 years SO THANKFUL.

How can I keep my child safe from her spider bite allergy anyone have any secrets on how to keep them away???
Avatar f tn I just wanted to check if I should be concerned about the bite? I was looking at spider bites online and it resembles a brown recluse spider bite, but I was asleep when it happened so I never saw it.
Avatar n tn i have a spider bite.
Avatar m tn I have some type of insect bite (I believe spider) on my stomach that has only gotten larger and itchier in the past few days. I've had all types of insect bites and stings before but never had this reaction. At first, the bite was slightly elevated and red. It was about the size of a quarter. Over the past few days, it's spread out significantly and is still elevated. It's about the size of 3 quarters. It's also dry and bumpy and has gotten more red.
Avatar f tn In December I believed that I has acquired a spider bite on the top of my foot because i had a bubble of fluid. At this point I had decided to go to the dermatologist and get checked out because I was tired of dealing with this rash. She took a biopsy and I came in a week or two later and she told me that it appeared to be granuloma annulare, but she did not think that this was correct because of the serious itching that accompanied this rash.
