Hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
The spider bites could have caused allergic reactions on your body for which you can consult a physician for Antihistamines (antiallergic) medications like Tablet cetrizine 10mg once at night for five days.
Kindly avoid scratching the bites as it leads to flaring up.
Apply calamine lotion to keep the skin moist and non itchy.
Take care Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
