Suggest Treatment For Allergic Spider Bite Rash On Hand

2 1/2 years ago I was bitten by a spider, I am guessing the spot turned red and was a circle about 3 in. With a point of entry I did not go to the dr as in a few days it started to go away. A few days later I became extremely sick, I did not relate the two till later and they may not be related. As I was recovering a mark appeared on my r arm that looked like the old tb test it mirrored on my r arm too. Then I had a ring like rash that appeared after many months I visited my Dr. He felt it was a fungus I went to my Derm he said it was eczama them med made it worse now I have it all over my body with what looks like ulcers on my hands it itches . My hands dry out even though I lotion them with emu oil,cocnut oil and Shea butter (Palmers brand)

Hello respected,

i think you are having a scar mark at the site of spider bite, that went to dryness and all problem started , many scars has tendency to dry and convert to eczema, if it is itching than there is more chance of eczema.

so in my opinion you should apply good quality moisturizer creams, not lotion along with clobetasol cream to suppress inflammation, avoid ulcerative areas.

use proper antibiotic creams at ulcer sites.and consult GP if oral antibiotics needed for ulcer,

take oral antihistamines like levocetrizine 10mg at night time for itching..

Once it's better , continue moisturizer creams ..apply moisturizer 3 to 4 times a day,

Thank you , get well soon
