Spider Bite On Lower Leg, Swelling, Redness, Hurts To Touch, Bruising Around The Bite, Weirdness In Right Arm. Is It Due To Spider Bite?
I think I may have been bitten by a spider last night in my sleep. It is on my lower right leg. Red, a little swollen, & about the size of a quarter. Similar to a pimple , but it hurts when touched & looks as if there is a bruise around it. I am also feeling weirdness in my right arm . Could this be from a spider bite? Please help!

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Smalll bump, redness in area around, pain etc can be there due to spider or any other insect bite or it could be a boil. But these lesions will have localised symptoms, so the weird sensation in your arm is unrelated to it. Kindly meet a dermatologist and a physician for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Hope this helped.
Take care
