Suggest Treatment For Itchy Spider Bite On The Arm
Hello, I have had what I thought was a spider bit or bug bite come up on my left forearm about 3 months ago. It was very itchy. Since then it has developed into several very small sores triple the size of the tip of a ballpoint pin head. Theses sores are actually holes, they have no drainage at all, nothing comes out. Peroxide sets them on fire and alcohol soothes them. My joints are aching as well. Any ideas?

For itchy spider bite on the arm you can take some some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for itching and redness. You can use betnovate-c cream or candid-b powder for local application. Take some calcium supplements like shalcal-d or toscal-gem once daily preferably in afternoon for joint pain.
