Flea bites - these usually occur in greater numbers than spider bites, and mostly occur on the legs (and the diaper area for crawling and sitting infants). They often are not painful at the time of the bite, and usually become increasingly itchy. Different people will react to flea bites to varying degrees. Some people are very sensitive to flea bites. Common places to get flea bites include houses with pets, beaches (sand fleas) and parks.
you may want to go to our "Ask an Expert" forum. Unfortunately I have no experience with spider bites and how to treat the scars from them.
Initially I thought they were spider bites and then ringworm later on. I went to the doctor a week ago, and she seemed to think they were bacterial and gave me a prescription for Augmentin and Bactroban ointment. They have slowly started to look better, but today I noticed they had a bulleyes appearance. Do you think this could be Lyme disease?
She has and has been bitten by mosquitoes too, they cause her swelling too, not to the extent of the spider bites. After the 3 years of spider bites she and I and hopefully her dad try to keep her out of places and areas where she can get bit. 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.
the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. The symptoms of these spider bites are usually chills, fever, nausea, severe abdominal pain or fluid-filled blister that leads to ulcer formation. Over-the-counter antihistamine medications may help with the itching. But if the symptoms persists, it would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management.
Take care and regards.
Apply a cool compress over the spider bite location and aspirin or acetaminophen may be used to relieve minor signs and symptoms in adults. Most spider bites are harmless, and will require no first aid.
The causes of a rash are extremely broad, which may make the evaluation of a rash extremely difficult. Try not to scratch. If you do, the rash may take longer to heal and you'll be more likely to develop an infection or scar.
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?
I've gotten tons of spider bites before. For the most part they're similar to a mosquito bite, raised, irritated and a little hard. However, in my opinion they itch less and I do have less of a reaction to them. The mass majority of spider bites are nonvenomous so unless you start feeling extreme burning, pain, nausea or become feverish there's no need to worry.
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???

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.
How big has the area gotten? Generally the swelling and redness shouldn't be bigger than a quarter around the site.
I'm gonna guess you can see two puncture wounds. Since its down there, probably happened while you slept so you don't know what spider did it.
As long as you weren't bitten by a brown recluse, black widow or tarantula you and baby should be okay. Are there other venomous spiders in your local area? A venomous bite would be bad for both of you.
Is there a doctor that specializes in spider bites and venom? Is there an anti-venom that cam stop this from happening? My pest guiy who I faithfully have come every 3 months sways recluse venom never leaves the human body and other spiders can smell it and their predatory nature kicks in and they basically say since you didn't die the last time we are going to try to kill you again and since they can smell it strongest at the site of the bite, they tend to bite in the same place.
I went to an urgent care facility and had it looked at, and was prescribed doxycycline and bactroban ointment. I've been taking both, as well as soaking it in Epsom Salt and warm water, but it has gotten worse. It very painful. I've attached a picture of what it looks like, I'm going to see if I can attach one of what it looked like yesterday. Should I go to the ER to have this looked at?
the first 3 times they were on my arms, and this time they are on my thigh. people think they are spider bites and i even went to the doctor once when they were healing and she sat 5 feet away from me and told me thats what they looked like. i dont think spider bites are that common - to have 10 in 3 1/2 - 4 months?
anyways - these spots are hard in the center and it feels bumpy - sometimes the bumps appear to be a pattern, sometimes they do not.
ve been getting alot of spider bite recently as there are alot of spiders in my Home. Other members of my household have gotten spider bites. I know I've gotten one if my skin gets really itchy and when I scratch them
With my
Nails they turn into a sore. I got one near my crotch, it got itchy then I scratched it and it
Turned into a sore but I didn't keep scratching it so it didn't get infected and healed in a couple days.
My physician said they were probably spider bites and gave me antibiotics. He said my lymph nodes under my arm were a bit swollen as well.
It's been weeks later and I still have a couple of marks that are red and almost look like a dimple or chicken pox scar.
Today is the first I've ever heard of IBC and wondered if I should be concerned since I just had a good mammogram.
They then became bigger and inflammed for 2 days, and 4 days in i started to notice bruising around my legs, the muscle in the back of my left calf felt sore as if i pulled it, 5 mini bruises near the bites and 3 bruises on bites, and 1 large bruise near a bite seen in pic. I dont recall ever bumping my knees so i dont know where these bruises are coming from.
