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.
one at a time almost every day or every 2 or 3 days all summer...they look like spider or mosquito bites...cannot find any bugs.......searched my bed and under bed for signs of bedbugs, but no sign of any bugs....
Sometimes it happens while driving or walking outside of house...one on my thigh or back...always at a fatty point....bite this morning on belly with 2 dots like a spider did it...never have seen any bugs....any ideas?
It has been one week since I started feeling a itchy, uncomfortable feeling in my left breast under nipple, size of quarter found read spot, looked like possible bite. Washed , cleaned, put on antibotic cream and bandaid. Hurts throbbing inside breast under spot. Three days ago decided treatment not effective with cream, so started antibotics had here at home. generic for bactrim ds 800. Wound looking worse squeezed, not good idea. Now more pain and looks like red outer ring raised.
ve ever experienced something similar is when I lived in New Hampshire and a spider bit me twice on my leg. They looked just like two whitehead pimples but by the end of the day my entire leg went numb and anytime something touched it I had throbbing pain throughout my leg. I had to go on crutches for the next 24 hours.
But the pain associated w/these 'bites' isn't nearly as severe but just as annoying.
I thought I had a pimple on my cheek, then the next day it looked more like a mozzie bite, the following day I thought a boil so I started putting bactroban on. It had like a hard core, was raised with what looked like a bit of puss in the middle surrounded by a red ring then the redness and swelling (like a great big puffy, red blister but not a blister) spread out towards my nose.
I have never had a bite like this before and am trying to figure out what to do. It started as a small bite that I tried to pop. It has grown in size, gotten tougher, turned purple, and as I just recently washed it and rubbed it dry with a towel the top layer of purple skin came off to look like what is pictured. There is a small white dot inside of the red and a few small bumps around the area as well.
Does anyone know anything about a spider bite ? I've never had one before but i think I have one.
Sounds like it could possibly be a boil. Sorry to be so graphic but does it look like a big pimple? If it is a boil you can apply a hot cloth on it and try to bring it to a head and it should erupt on it's on. If it doesn't clear up in a few days or gets bigger I advise you to get treatment by a Dr. The Dr will probably lance it ( make a small incision) to release the infection and give you antibiotics.
Well, it has been 3 days now. All I have done is taken more vit C and some prophen. swelling still there and blister did get a little larger. I have held off getting personal medical help as I do not have insurance. Also, it has not been real painful and , after 3 days, is not getting worse. I consider my immune system to be in pretty good shape so, hoping I can handle it. If it does get worse, I will have to at least maybe go to a drug store and have a pharmacist look at it.
By Thursday the 10th there were some blisters appearing around the one on my chest (although no pain), and the one on my neck was very painful if touched, and I had noticed a third, much smaller, bite on my right arm - just next to the chest bite. The bite sites on each of the spots had a yellowy-brown crater-looking effect, the way a mozzie bite will look if you scratch it too much and it scabs over (although I hadn't scratched any of the bites).
