Insect bite: A spider bite is the most irritating to the skin. The saliva from the spider causes redness, swelling and induration(hard lump) under skin. oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) every 4 to 6 hours will help with reaction. Putting in a cool compress over spider bite for 10 minutes every hour while awake will help. Antibiotic ointment. if redness is getting larger or she has a fever, take her to ER or appt.Dr's office.
