Suggest Treatment For Unknown Insect Bites

Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015

Question: I have two bites near my ear that we're painful initially and accompanied by a headache. They are not painful anymore but have formed scabs that are really slow in healing. Should I be worried about the bites being from a hobo or brown recluse spider?

Brief Answer:
I need to see the bites please. Send me pictures for better evaluation!
