Resolving infection: When did you start Doxycycline and how many days ago did you take it?  You may have had a skin infection such as MRSA. There could be residual infection. Elevate, warm compresses and see your physician for consideration for other antibiotic or treatment.

Question 7

this morning i noticed 2 purple spider bites with a tiny bruise and very small red bump. there has been no pain and i feel fine, it is now 11:00 pm.

Accepted Answer

Spider bites?: Unless you saw the spiders in the act - these lesions may not be from spider bites.  Not sure what your question is. If you are worried - would show these lesions to your parents. However, if you remain symptom free- would not fret.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Not spider: Spider bites are rare and are quite different from your description. There are no spiders capable of venomous attack in NY state with rare exceptions. When a spider attacks it is immediately apparent. Unless you saw and felt the bite it was not a spider.
