Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps After Spider Bite

20Yrs ago i was diagnosed with a spider bite. I was given antibiotics however for the next 17 years it would come back around every six months i would treat and wait it would eventually go away only to come back again six months later. It is now back again same spot (on the back of right thigh ) and after about three years it is begining to concern me. It itches like crazy and there is a cluster of bumps with like white stuff on the bumps.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Only a few spiders are dangerous to humans. Most presumed spider bites are actually bites from other bugs.

For your symptoms, I would suggest you to clean the site of the spider bite well with soap and water. Apply a cool compress over the spider bite location. If the bite is on an extremity, elevate it.

Aspirin or acetaminophen and antihistamines may be used to relieve minor signs and symptoms in adults. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
Thank you.
