How To Treat Burning Sensation On My Dry Skin After A Spider Bite?
in september I was bit by a black widow spider on my lower left leg. I have since gone through 3 rounds of antibiotics and 3 rounds of uptick doses of prednisone. Now my lower leg from the midcalf to my ankle has rash and an almost elephant skin feel to it, if I use a skin conditioner, it burns on contact. And if I don t, I encounter the burning sensation of standing in a Fire Ant pit
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that antibiotic and steroid wont helps you at all neither the symptoms that you described here could be due to the spider bite but this could be something else and this need to be examined clinically, take care and have a nice day.
