Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain On The Wrist After A Spider Bite
I believe I got bit by a spider on Friday..it s now Tuesday. I ve had a red bump on my wrist that s swollen since Saturday...it aches . It doesn t really itch anymore and it hasn t gotten bigger and there s no puss coming out. It s still jus swollen and aches..especially by the end of the day because I probably hit it against something. Should I see a doctor or let it take its course and heal? How long does it take to heal?
