i have a bite and i don't know if it is a spider bite or not. It was very itchy and it swelled and has a puss bubble and it had a block spot in the middle of it. the black spot was smaller than an eraser of a pencil. Three days later it hasn't changed much. Redness is getting bigger and the black stuff went away a little bit. can you please tell me what bit me and if i need to seek medical attention?

I woke up with bites on my neck and later in the day there was a bump that emerged on my arm. I just got back from a trip and stayed at a nice hotel. I just noticed a mosquito flying around- but it is now november and i live in ny– the bites are in patterns of two in some places. they are pretty swolen and red tonight.
it would be weird if i had bed bugs suddenly- i’m hoping that is n ot what it is.

I believe a spider bit me on the butt, I have two holes, one is larger than the other. I was sleep and didn’t feel the bite, and I have no evidence of what type of spider it was. It has been almost one week, on about day 3 it started puss and my daughter squeezed it and poured peroxide on it and I’ve been putting neosporin on it. Since then it has a clear scab over it, but it is still very score, I haven’t been feeling that well, but I’m not running any fever, just headaches and extremely sore. I don’t have health insurance and really don’t want to go to the emergency room if it is not detrimental.

I have been getting little light red bites on my feet and legs. There is a white clear fluid in the middle at first and it itches really bad. I am in the process of moving so there are a lot of boxes being moved. I’m freaked I may have bed bugs, however only sign is the bites and I did see around 12 spiders over the last few days as I have been moving. Also one day in my sheets, as I was taking them off to wash them. I saw what appeared to be a tiny red spider. If I have bed bugs, this is the first I have noticed of them. Should I throw my bed out and get a new one. I have to be out of my condo in three days and I am so scared I have already spread bugs into my new place.

wrong page # on the above post – it should be page 11.

Can you tell me what the spider on Page 11 #3 and #4 is? It is called “Rachel’s spider #1 and Rachel’s spider #2?” i’ve got on one my back porch but cannot find it in my spider book!

yes, I got a spider bite, it started as a simple mosquito bite but it spread out through my leg in a couple of hours. I felt it sore, numb, itchy and very painful to the point that I could not walk. Of course, I went to the doctor’s office as soon as I could, I am under strong medication, but it is taking too long to heal.

Today is Thursday and I was examining my face when I saw what looked like a pimple forming. It didn’t hurt even though it was above my eyebrow so I picked at it. It scabbed up overnight and became a bump Monday. I didn’t notice that some of the bump went under my eyebrow. Tuesday I thought the “pimple” was just getting bigger and a small portion of the bump covered my eye, not completely just a centimeter over it.

Wednesday was horrible, the “pimple” was throbbing, the size of a golf ball, holding my eye shut, and pulsing with pain. Today it shrunk a little but the pain worsened. It looked like a pimple again, just really big. I scraped off the scab (stupid) and saw the yellow puss that comes from pimples. A very large amount of puss mixed with blood came out but the yellow puss stayed. I can feel the yellow puss as if it is my tissue and it won’t come out. I have been taking ibprofen since yesterday and every four hours the pain comes back worse. I’m now taking 2-4 times the normal amount and can still feel it.

There is also a very hard quarter sized sphere under the bump. I don’t have insurance so no doctor and my parents don’t trust me at all. They literally made jokes and laughed at me. They only believe what they can see which is definitely clear. Help?
