Spider bite? Please help!
Yesterday I was in my yard when I was stung or bitten by something. At first I thought it might have been a fire ant but within a couple of hours my hand bece swollen and I could see what appeared to be two puncture marks in the center. Within another couple hours a blister formed over the bite. The blister is a deep red purple color, with a sunkin center. Over night the swelling in my hand decreased bit the blister itself became larger. If anyone could give me any info it would be greatly appreciated. Ive icluded a photo of what it now looks like. (Ive outlined it to track its growth)
That looks necrotic.
"If the wound is becoming necrotic, it will often begin to turn purple within 24 hours. If the skin does turn purple, it is likely that necrosis is on the way and will then turn black as the cells die."
Id get that taken care of. Necrosis is very, very bad. If you want to see, just type it into google images. Yours is more than enough to warrant seeing a doctor kinda quickly.
