How to know it is dry skin or a spider bite or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple dry skin : Probably doesn't have that much in common with a spider bite. 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.
