Insect/spider bite

Asked Jul 1, 2012, 07:21 AM — 1 Answer
I was bitten by something on my leg. It is bright red and kind of rashy looking. It itches but I don't have a fever or pain there. It is about 4 inches across. What concerns me is that the redness and swelling is slowly spreading.

Best to get this checked out by a physician, some spider bites cause tissue necrosis and at the very least infection.
