Is Spider Bite The Reason For Bluish Bruise Colour Bump On Calf?
We noticed a bump on my son s calf that looks like a mosquito bite. Upon examining it he said it was painful to touch and it is very firm. It is about the size of a quarter and red. This afternoon it is still hard and painful however it has turned from red to a bluish bruise color. Could this be a spider bite and should he be seen immediately?
