Why I think it's a spider bite
It looks similar to other people's pictures of spider bites that I have seen online. I was much worse and my arm was really swollen and cellistitis was beginning.
What happened
. I was doing yard work the day before the bite, in an over grown garden of a friends. I did not feel anything until the next morning I woke up to a very itchy bug bite. I figured it was just a normal bug bite. I was very itchy and I but calamine lotion on at first. By day two, it was growing and my arm was swelling. So then I went on line to see about spider bites and remedies. I tried baking soda and apple cider vinegar {this relieved the itching), I tried golden seal powder, gold bond cream and powder, and then my sister who is a nurse told me to soak it in hot water as much as possible. It started getting better, and also Claritan.
Advice
- Don't know what is a good treatment other than expensive medical treatment. I have tried a variety.
