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 2

i have what a believe is a spider bite. its a red ish scab with a purple bruised ring around it. should i be worried? i have no health insurance.

Accepted Answer

Bite: Since you're not experiencing any systemic symptoms and there is no current spreading redness or other inflammatory changes around the Bite site, I think you can sit tight at this time . Apply an antibacterial ointment like bacitracin to the bite and observe for any signs of inflammation like spreading redness which would necessitate a visit to a clinic.

Question 3

bug bite on leg was itchy, grew and is now a round purple bruise on my leg - assuming it is a spider bite but do i need to treat or will it go away?

Get checked: May be just as you suspect, but maybe not. Best to get it checked by your MD or Dermatologist. Good Luck.

Question 4

what kind of spider bite leaves a bruise?

Accepted Answer

From what I have: Read this is not limited to one species. Seek medical care asap if you think a spider bit you ; you have severe pain (can be felt at bite site ; possibly chest, back or abdomen); abdominal cramping /rigidness or ulceration of skin at site. You may need a tetanus shot (if you don't know when your last shot was or it has been &gt; 10 years). Also medical care if you develop signs of secondary infection.

Question 5

Can't tell you from : This info alone. 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. Seek medical care asap if you think a spider bit you ; you have fever, severe pain (can be felt at.

Question 7

my spider bite on my thigh was light red for 2days. now it's red and purple and the only thing i did was put vic rub. could this make the bite worse?

Accepted Answer

Bug bite: Any bite that is turning colors may be of concern. I would seek medical attention. I also would not continue to put any ointment on it until you see your doctor.

Question 8

my bf has a spider bite on the back of his leg thats about the size of a quarter it was red at first but now it is dark redish purple is this serious?

Accepted Answer

Possible necrosis: This sounds like the bite may be becoming necrotic. A brown recluse bite frequently acts like this. Your bf should see a physician as he may need to have this area debrided and or may require antibiotics.

Question 9

It isn't that : Uncommon to have bruising around a spider bit. In ; of it's self it is not of great concern.

You may need a tetanus shot (if you don't know when your last shot was or it has been &gt; 10 years).

Question 10

Skin bruised by bite: Yes, very insightful.  The bruising can be caused by a bite...Even a recluse spider bite. These often lead to infection so watch for swelling, redness and pus... And if these occur please get to a health care expert.
