Bug/Spider bite on my legYesterday I got bitten by something, i think it was a spider but not 100% sure.
It happened when I was watching TV and looked at my leg there are multiple bites (5) all below the knee..
It itches a bit and the bites are bigger than mosquito bites...
I thought they were spider bites because I saw a small spider (Not a black window or anything like that) in my house yesterday..
What can I put on the bites to heal it? Should I go to the doctor? -

Re: Bug/Spider bite on my legWell you're still alive today. If it was truly venemous and threatening, I'm sure signs would have occured before now.
Just treat it like mosquito bites. Avoid scratching it, put some sort of cream on it to sooth the itching and sit it out. Take an allergy tablet as well if you think that might help. Just sit it out, they'll go down eventually. -

Re: Bug/Spider bite on my legMy dad was bitten on the arse by a spider the other day - it was brilliant. However I doubt one would have given you multiple bites as it's a defence mechanism, they don't want to feed off you. It's more likely to be a gnat of sorts. No need for a doctor as there has not been any worrying side effects, just avoid scratching them and put some antihistamine cream on the blighters. You'll be fine
