Question 1

what is the white stuff that comes out of a spider bite before the oozing pus. its more lumpy than actual pus. once that stuff comes drainage is worse?

Accepted Answer

Not a spider bite: Did you see and feel the spider attack? Did you take the spider to a genuine expert for identification? If not, you have something else. Your description is not concordant with venomous  spider bite. In fact, USA spider bites are RARE and mostly confined to the southwestern states.  See a better Dr.

Question 2

my spider bites are filling with pus how do i drain them?

Accepted Answer

How about seeking: Medical attention as depending on size they might need to be surgically drained.  When was your last tetanus shot? If you don't know or it if has been more then ten years - then get another tetanus shot at the same time.

Question 3

what is the black spot surrounded by pus from a spider bite?

Accepted Answer

The black spot is: Likely an eschar made up of dead tissue. If your bite is pussing out . Then get it medically checked.

Question 4

i don't know if i have a cyst or a spider bite. it's been swollen for 3 days, when i go to pop it brownish/red pus comes out then it refills?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Either way you should not pop this lesion. Instead apply warm compresses. If there is spreading redness or persistent swelling with pus, have a physician examine and advise you. It may need incision and drainage which you shouldn't attempt.

Question 5

got a pus filled blister which broke open & bled a lot . the skin around it is very red and tinged purple and hard lump underneath. spider bite?

Accepted Answer

Skin infections: Pus filled bumps on the skin are usually the symptom of a skin infection.  When they become red, warm to touch and painful it is called cellulitis.  Treatment of this includes oral antibiotics and occassionally drainage.  See your doctor, because resistant infections are becoming more common and require special treatment.

Question 6

looks like spider bite on top of toes, went away and came back within 2 weeks.painful, skin peeling, blister like with white pus inside?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This could be mrsa. It might not be.  As long as you've got no fever, there's no penetrating trauma, it's not expanding, and it's not very painful, it is reasonable to see what it does over the next couple of days. Warm epsom salt water soaks, dial soap and water scrubs, and maybe some topical antibiotic ointment would be my home treatment  if the above criteria are met.

Question 7

have two zit-like bumps right next to each other right above lip.don't reall yhave acne.has tiny bit of white pus come out. spider bite?std?just zits?

Accepted Answer

Bumps above lip: The most common thing of course would be acne. Spider bites on the face would be quite unusual, and usually become quite red and hot with a central darkened area of necrosis. An STD like herpes is possible if they look like blisters or shallow open sores (but usually are very painful). If they get worse and look infected, go see a provider for evaluation.

Question 8

boils that appeared to be spider bites but now oozing and spreading with what looks to be like thread like substance sqeezing out of wound. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Get Immediate Care: You could be having what is known as mrsa. It frequently looks like a spider bite and left untreated can spread through your blood stream quickly and become life-threatening.  There are antibiotics that can treat it and you need to be on them immediately.

Question 9

i have a insect bite on my back, it is red, hard and swollen and has a oosing little mark in the middel. was at the pharmacy they said  they think it omis a spider bite and will need antibiotics. ?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection : Sound like you need an opinion based on an examination. You may need antibiotics or you may not. You can set up a telemedicine visit

Question 10

groin infection treatment? lanced-- large quantity of pus removed.  cause?  spider bite?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Spider bites are quite rare.  The possible cause is an infected ingrown hair with secondary infection.  The doctor (hopefully) who lanced this may have cultured it.  Possibly due to staph, and usually drainage may resolve it entirely.
