A member asked:

I got this spider bite and their is 6 of them but when i scratch them, the center of the bite turns red but don't hurt and still itch is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not spider: Spider bites are rare. They are single, painful, and ulcerate. In North America the are present only in the southwest. You have something else. A skin DR will help you. Meanwhile you can try hydrocortisone cream.
