Accepted Answer

Spider bite?: Without a picture this is difficult to answer, but if you're still having significant symptoms 3 weeks after the bite, you need to have it checked by a doctor.

Question 2

how to know if i have a spider bite on my finger?

Accepted Answer

Best way - is to: observe a spider biting you. Spider bites can have variable appearances. It might cause a pink or red bump with no symptoms. Or it could itch or be painful. Venomous spiders may cause  significant pain radiating far from the site, cramping, sweating, necrosis of tissue or worse if there is an allergic reaction.

Question 3

is it bad if my finger is swollen from a spider bite?

Accepted Answer

Really a spider?: Spider bites on the finger can be quite painful, as the finger doesn't have a lot of room to swell. Infections in a finger can spread easily through the hand. Watch this very closely. Sometimes, infections with MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) look exactly like a spider bite. So treat this with respect, and go to see your doctor or the er if anything seems worrisome. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Accepted Answer

There is the: significant potential that the bite has become infected and now you need antibiotics. This will not be possible to determine over the internet. You need to have a health care professional see the area and examine it to determine what the next best treatment will be. Don't delay, you wouldn't want to end up losing the finger from infection if it is treatable.

Question 6

my finger is red and swelling and it burns whenever i itch it. it keeps on throbbing whenever it has no ice could it be a spider bite?

Accepted Answer

Infection: This appears to be cellulitis of the finger and it should be evaluated for diagnosis and prompt treatment as soon as possible. It may have started as an insect bite, but redness, swelling and throbbing are very concerning symptoms. Your best action is to go to the hospital emergency room unless your physician is able to examine you now.

Question 7

i have swollen itchy fingers painful on my right hand. it started a few weeks back with 1 finger which i thought was maybe a spider bite. after a few days it went away. then came back 2 weeks ago on 2 fingers and now the whole hand. i also have a uti?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Sounds like you may have had some kind of insect bite. Spider bites typical do itch and burn.  I would be worried if you notice redness to your fingers or streaks going up your hand/forearm which could be signs of infection.  Also if you are have any burning or discomfort when you urinate you should see your provider to give a urine sample.  You may need to be prescribed antibiotics.

Question 8

what does a brown recluse spider bite look like i have a bite on index finger and the skin is coming off. it burns and itches, has little ant bite type bumps

Accepted Answer

A : A brown recluse bite can have different appearances. There can be almost no signs of the bite or there can be a dark escar (scab) with surrounding white tissue (that is dead). In some cases the brown recluse's bite can be necrotoxic and cause very severe damage. It can large amounts of skin to die and can eat into the muscle as well. This type of reaction is usually associated with fever, muscle and joint pain and feeling very ill.  I can not diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Brown recluses are actually very little and non-descript looking.  If your skin is sloughing off your finger - do recommend that this be medically evaluated.

Question 9

washed hands and noticed pain on index finger tip. tiny red dot, not bleeding, no other abnormality. no needle stick that im aware of. can a wart or spider bite present this way? occurred after waking up. didnt hurt yesterday?

Accepted Answer

: Probably minor injury you didn't notice at the time, which of course happens all the time to all humans. Certainly not a wart or likely site for an insect or spider bite. Probably nothing is wrong that matters and it will clear up in a day or two. Nothing to worry about!

Question 10

what are symptoms of spider bites in the u.s.?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Anything from minor itching and redness, to crusting, oozing and in a few cases severe skin and soft tissue breakdown.  It depends upon the species.
