A member asked:

My sister has a rash that looks like it might've started out as a spider bite. can some bites form rashes that spread quickly?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Abscess?: If there is any evidence of pus or an abscess this needs to be seen urgently. And, any spreading rash should be evaluated in person urgently.
