Is The Spider Bite Healing If Applying Antibiotics And It Is Red And Hard Around The Bite?
I am having problems with spider bite. I have had bite for 2 weeks now and can not afford to go to doctor. I have been draining the bite by pressing around it. Keeping it clean and putting antibiotic cream on it. It is a little red an hard around the bite but it does not hurt. Is the spider bite healing?

Hello,
Taking oral antibiotics, using antibacterial cream and disinfecting the wound with povidone iodine is the right way to treat it. Continue doing so.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
