Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this spider bite. Please, upload an image if this bitten area for review. This way, I can provide a thorough and helpful response. My fear is that there might a superinfection requiring special measures such as antibiotics and wound care that may be missed without reviewing an image.
