“I suppose its a spider bite...”

Hi! A few days ago I noticed a little discomfort in the arm area. I realized that I had some bumps, which were associated with itching and pain. I thought they would go away, but I've had them for about 5 days and they started to dry up. I still feel a twinge and I'm starting to worry.
After a little research, it looks more like a spider bite, but I'm not sure about that. Can you help me please with this situation?

It’s possible that the bumps you’re experiencing could be a spider bite, especially if you’ve noticed itching and pain. Spider bites typically leave red, swollen bumps, and they may cause pain or tenderness. The fact that the bumps are drying up could suggest healing, but since it’s been 5 days and you’re still feeling discomfort, it’s worth seeking professional advice to rule out any infection or other causes.

If the bite doesn’t improve or if you experience severe swelling, fever, or increased pain, it’s best to see a dermatologist.
