hello, what is the spider who bit you? Has your earlier spider bite has resolved and no infection at all around the injury site? It is alright to apply Fucidin after washing the bite site thoroughly. You have to apply it atleast 2 times a day for 5 days.
If you are just after the bite , wash the wound using cold water to relieve the stinging pain, take loratadine, and apply hydrocotizone cream around the bite site if the local reaction is there.
Don't scratch around the wound otherwise you would get skin infection.
If the spider is black widow spider better to show your physician early just after bite.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
