A member asked:
I had a spider bite that turned into cellulitis. i just finished 10 days of antibiotic and it's still itching. is that normal?

Sometimes, as something heals, it becomes itchy. As long as it is no longer red, swollen, painful, etc., it is healing. It will continue to get better now that the bacteria causing the cellulitis have been eliminated by the antibiotic. If the infection symptoms return, then contact your doctor but it should continue to heal. Good luck!
