A member asked:

I have what a believe is a spider bite. its a red ish scab with a purple bruised ring around it. should i be worried? i have no health insurance.

Bite: Since you're not experiencing any systemic symptoms and there is no current spreading redness or other inflammatory changes around the Bite site, I think you can sit tight at this time . Apply an antibacterial ointment like bacitracin to the bite and observe for any signs of inflammation like spreading redness which would necessitate a visit to a clinic.
