The short answer is yes-spider bites can cause many different symptoms including rashes that can itch and hurt. These symptoms can also occur without a rash being present. Typically, this will get better on its own but antihistamines can help with the itch and acetaminophen can help with any discomfort. If it is getting worse, see your doctor. Good luck to you!!

Yes, they can, but that pattern is not specific to or diagnostic of a spider bite.
