I think i was bit by a spider 2 weeks ago its not healing at all and very painful. i'm always cleaning it with alcohol or peroxide. it's a hole on toe?

Spider bites: contain a tissue TOXIN that can be very painful, leave a "hole" (tissue necrosis) and last for a long time. Keep Clean and Dry!! Use a local antibiotic cream such as "PolyiSporin" Hope this helps Dr Z
