How To Test If Redness And Blister Like Bump On The Ankle Are Caused Due To A Spider Bite?

I believe I have a spider bite in my ankle which has become infected. Skin is very red and seems to have a blister like bump in centre. An antibacterial cream does not seem to have helped. I have had this for about a. week. Can you please give me some medical advice. Thank you.

Hi i do care for your concern.
The history suggest of an infection, which may also be caused due to insect bite.
If i were your treating doctor then i would suggest
To take oral antibiotics such as amox with antacids for three days along with application of topical antibiotics.
If still bump persist its advisable to consult a physician and get the fluid drained.
Hope the condition gets well soon.
If you have more doubts feel free to ask.
Thank you.
