Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Redness And Swelling At The Site Of Spider Bite?
I get bitten by spiders once to twice most years. I am very lucky to go a year without being bitten. The bites usually start out to look like I have been pricked with a pin. The site will usually swell, turn very red, the center of the bite comes out, sometimes it will ooze the liquified flesh from the poision and the site is very painful. I have had my bites on several occasions confirmed by a doctor. My husband has never been bitten by a spider. What attracks spiders to some people more than others?
Hi, There is nothing like some people have more tendency to get bitten by spiders. it was just a coincidence that you got bitten and not your husband. however hen ever you get bitten by spider , take an antihistaminic drug like cetrizine to avoid redness and painful itching as it reduces the reaction. Thanks Dr.Riyanka
