bug bite??

About 3 days ago..I noticed a bright red painfull pimple.I left it alone, but noticed it was getting more and more painfull, and larger. I put a warm wash cloth on it and barely squeezed it. A small amount of pus and then clear fluid came out. I woke up the nect day and ...my face is swelling all around the pimple/bite(even my eyelid). It seems to be a fluid filled type of swelling. I can see 2 puncture marks..and believe it might be a spider bite.How do you treat a spider bite???...sorry I know this is kinda gross.

Hi, I had about eight spider bites, three around my neck and the rest on my stomach, the spider must have crawled into a jumper - I should have got some treatment as I really suffered,the bites were huge with enormous red saucer type marks around and they felt like they were burning - they still keep flaring up - GET SOME ADVICE - see the doctor or a pharmacist - you may need antihistamines or anti biotics if infection starts - but dont leave them/it like I did.

If your face is swelling I wouldn't mess around, you might be having some sort of systemic reaction to whatever venom from whatever bit you...you need to get that checked....that's too scary to just guess about
