A member asked:
Is it bad if my finger is swollen from a spider bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really a spider?: Spider bites on the finger can be quite painful, as the finger doesn't have a lot of room to swell. Infections in a finger can spread easily through the hand. Watch this very closely. Sometimes, infections with MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) look exactly like a spider bite. So treat this with respect, and go to see your doctor or the er if anything seems worrisome. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
