Spider Bites, Scab Around Shin, Redness, Leg Pain. Speed Healing?
I have 4 different spider bite locations; two on the leg ( one above the knee, one on shin) one one the elbow and the last on the ankle. All seemed to be healing quite well, except for the one on the shin. It has a scab over it, but redness surrounding it, and the leg aches when standing on it for a while. What should I do to help speed healing?

Hello,
Don't need to worry.
Very less species of spider are dangerous to humans.
There is still signs of inflammation on the shin bite area.
It may be a superadded bacterial infection followed by the inflammation.
Consult your local doctor.
