I think I may have a spider bite ....i have a swollen, purplish area about 1-2 across, with a swollen area in the center about l/4 across & swollen above the skin with a small hole in the center...there is nothing in the hole. The area is located on my right side toward my back about 5 inches from my right breast. I cleaned it with soapy water and hydrogen peroxide , applied bacitracin and a bandaid. It is very sore to the touch, and the purplish area that is swollen is also very hard. I have no fever or other systemic type symptons. I read that I should apply an ice pack for 15 - 20 minutes. Does this sound like a spider bite? I feel if it is still the same in the morning, I should see my doctor . I am on the West Coast; it is 12:15 a.m. Do you think I am ok waiting until tomorrow to have it seen, if at all? Does it sound like a spider bite? I only noticed it about 2 hours ago....I thought it was a bruise .
