A member asked:

My daughter's skinpeeled from head to toe after what we think was a spider bite...what should we do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? not a spider bite: After a strep or staph infection with strains that produce exfoliatin toxin (and related toxins) the skin commonly peels all over, not just in the area of infection. A bad spider bite could get infected or these infections can sometimes look like a "spider bite". It may be that is what is going on here.
