Should I Be Concerned About The Oozing Out Blister Due To Spider Bite?

My husband was pulling weeds under our deck and thinks he got a spider bite yesterday? on his finger, he woke up this morning with his finger oozing and looking like a blister and is now turning a purplish color. Is this serious? He does keep draining his finger

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain due to spider bite there is allergic reaction along with infection at the site of spider bite leading to ABSCESS formation due to which there is discharge and blister like appearance..

Your husband should take a Broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin antihistamines like Allegra.
For pain you can take anti inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin).
Apply TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC Ointment over the lesion after cleaning it using betadine solution and draining out pus..

It will start healing in three to four days but if there is no healing or the symptoms worsen consult a physician..

Hope this information helps..


Thanks and regards..
