A member asked:
I have a rash on my leg. thought it was from a mosquito bite, but now its swollen and red and i m afraid it's a spider bite. could you take a look?

Not a spider: There are no venomous spiders in NY. Unless you saw and felt the spider attack you know it is something else. There are hundreds of different causes for a rash on your leg. Does it itch? How long? Best result will be obtained by a trip to a dermatologist. Meanwhile you can try hydrocortisone cream.
