How do doctors tell if a spider bite is serious enough to call the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sxs: Ulceration may sometimes be treated or prevented with dapsone. A tetanus shot may be necessary. Antibiotics may be necessary if the wound becomes infected. Large ulcerations could require debridement. See a physician for system reactions.
