General Practitioner Questions Spider Bites

Spider bite

I got bit by what I believe was a spider while I was sleeping last night. On my left butt cheek. It swelled up and itched. Now it just hurts. It does appear to have bumps around it and it's a little red.

Not to worry if the swelling and pain go down after a few days, If not, you should see your doctor, and if s/he doesn\t know about serious symptoms coming from spider bites, you should ask him or her to look at the material you have brought with you having looked it up on Google before going. Although quite rare, spider bites can be the backdrop for quite a few different symptoms that can be more or less debilitating.
