A member asked:
My finger is red and swelling and it burns whenever i itch it. it keeps on throbbing whenever it has no ice could it be a spider bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: This appears to be cellulitis of the finger and it should be evaluated for diagnosis and prompt treatment as soon as possible. It may have started as an insect bite, but redness, swelling and throbbing are very concerning symptoms. Your best action is to go to the hospital emergency room unless your physician is able to examine you now.
