Spider bite: Spider bites should not be taken lightly. They cause a lot of inflammation and sometimes necrosis. Your is 1 weeks old and still very red - see your doctor and hopefully he will prescribe something

Ageement: Agree with other doctors. But would emphasize caution. A Brown Recluse Spider can cause severe tissue damage requiring skin grafts. Get this handled today
