Swelling After Spider Bite, Fang Marks, Redness, Pus And Blood. What Can Be Done?
Hello I was bitten by. I suppose a spider as after I saw the swelling I noticed the fang marks. That was almost a week ago , my arm is currently still swollen and red. As I was bathing I ran some really warm water on it and I decided to squeeze as it felt hard. On doing this pus and blood shot out and I did this a few times and it keeps bleeding. Please tell me what I can do
