What Causes Swelling,redness And Heat In Leg?
my son had a rash with a big blister that had a big black dot in the middle that was diagnosed as a spider bite. This happened about two weeks ago. the rash is fading, but his leg had completely swollen up, turned red, and is hot to the touch. Could this be poison ivy, and if so,what should i do about it?

Hello and thank you for your question.
Please get him to a doctor today. This could be cellulitis and infection in the leg and may need to be treated with antibiotics immediately. If you can not get him in to see your doctor today take him to Emergency now as this will oly get worse and could be life threatening if it is an infection.

Dr. Robinson
