Suggest Medicines For Rash Occurred By Spider Bite
Hello, I have a small rash on my upper outer left thigh that resembles a spider bite, but it has been there for over a month. It is itchy and sometimes a little painful. Do you have any idea what this might be? I am a 18 year old female, 5'6", 150 lbs. Thank you

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of rash which is due to infection due to toxins released by sting leading to an allergic reaction.
NI would suggest you maintain complete hygiene of the area. Avoid itching and pricking. You should take the proper course of antibiotics and Ibuprofen and clean with an antiseptic solution. You should consult allergy specialist or dermatologist once for proper diagnosis. Your allergist may conduct skin tests, blood tests, and skin-prick test and give you steroids injections.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
