What Does An Itchy Red Spot On The Palm Indicate?

I just returned from a camping trip on Lond Isand NY (5 days ago). there is a red itchy spot on the palm of my hand about for the last 3 days. no other symptoms. Im thinking spider bite. How long should symptoms last and when should I seek additional help. I know its not a big symptom. but its a strange place and Im concerned about some of the bug borne illnesses. It does t hurt but occasionally feel tingling local to the area.

Hello,

It could be a spider bite or some other insect bite no sure way of knowing but my advise is to get it checked in case the infections spread so that we can curtail it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
