Suggest Treatment For Blister On Arm And Joint Pain After Tick Bite
I think I was bit by a spider or a tick. I live in Michigan and have been cleaning my garage. I ve been sleeping in the garage too for about six weeks. I woke up early thursday morning with severe elbow pain- burning and tenderness. Within a couple hours I had a large blister on my elbow. Within 24 hours the blister had popped and came back three times and by then I had an off/on fever, infected eyes , muscle/joint pain and weakness, and my elbow has been very red and swollen ever since.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Tick bite or spider bites could cause swelling,redness and tenderness over the skin.
Your symptoms seem to be a allergic reactions following bitten by insect.
You may require antibiotics (amoxicillin or cephalosporins) with antihistamines, antiinflammatory and topical steroids.
You may consult dermatologist for further advice.
Thanks.
