What Are The Best Treatments For Spider Bites?
I have received bites on my wrists from known spiders while working in the garden two months ago. I took one course of antibiotics, but the quarter size areas continue to be red and oozy with occasional periods of drying, but always red. Do you have treatments that you can give me from people who have had similar conditions and were helped by those treatments?
Answers
Ideally, apply mild corticosteroid like hydrocortisone immediately after the spider bite and take anti allergy tablets for 3-4 days. Now the bite site is infected, it is better to apply topical antibiotic ointment and take anti allergy tablets or visit a doctor for proper prescription.
