A member asked:

A red bump with hardness underneath and red/black head and redness area.. does that sound like a spider bit? located on thigh

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin infection: did you actually see a spider bite you? If not, the bump you describe is likely an abscess. In any event, it should be evaluated by a physician to determine the appropriate course of treatment (I & D +/- antibiotics).
