Spider bite on arm. very swollen and red line going up the arm from the bite. what can i do?

Have it evaluated: The symptoms you post suggest the bite was contaminated by germs that are invading your tissue to form a cellulitis. You need to have it evaluated before the infection spreads further. It will likely require prescription meds.
