A member asked:

A spinder or bug bit me it keeps re accuring it couses small blisters with fluid in . is it harmfull because it keeps re accuring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

'Spider" bite: A recurring area of blistering with fluid may not be due to a bug or spider bite, but rather to a localised viral infection called herpes simplex. If you see your doctor when the blisters are present a culture of the fluid can be done to confirm if it is herpes. If it is then treatment can be prescribed. Hsv is an annoying but not serious condition.
