What can i do for itching from spider bites?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hydrocortisone cream: Usually works well. In sever reactions, an anti-histamine/benadryl will help.

See below: Use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Hydrocortisone 1% cream. The Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can reduce the itch and the Hydrocortisone can reduce the inflammation.
