Can a spider bite cause cellulits ( 11 year old son foot ?

Any bug bite can be an entry portal for infection. If you suspect infection go get it evaluated. If the infection enters the deep tissues of the foot, it can lead to hospitalization for intravenous meds/surgery and prolonged recovery. Go now.
