What Could Hard Bumps On Arm Suggest?
Hi, I was taking a nap earlier and when I woke up I realized a had a little bump on my arm. At first I thought I was a mosquito bite because it looked just like one except it did not itch, there is a little pain when I push it, it s really hard though. It seems to be swelling down, I just would like to know if maybe it was a spider bite?

The history you gave suggests that you have an insect bite reaction.Spider bite be could be a possibility.You need to take an oral course of antibiotic like azithromycin along with topical steroid cream like mometasone to relieve the inflammation.
