Two days ago I noticed a small round bump on my side. I thought may be an ingrown hair. Didn't think much about it. But today I looked at it and now its dark red with 5 small bumps in the center of the area. And on top of the smaller bumps there are tiny holes which I think are just pores that are enflammed from it. It must of happend while I slept. It starting to itch some but besides that it dosen't hurt. Anyone know what type of insect can do this? First time that I had a bite look like this. I think maybe some sort of spider.

MiniD can share am interesting spider bite story with you ;)
-
Could be a Brown Recluse spider bite.
-
Thats what I was thinking to... I hope not I looked at some pictures of Brown Recluse bites and didn't look to good.
-
Doesn't sound like a recluse bite.
-
from what i understand, recluse are a bit more severe & faster. I wouldnt rule out a spider, but since its been 2 days i dont think itll get worse.
but if you're really concerned, see a doctor, not the hitech bbs.

its not a brown recluse.............or you'ld be dead!

naw, won't kill ya', but you will find the area around the bite DYING and the skin/tissue sloughing off after a couple days.
Still merits checking out. I'd set up a visit to your GP asap.

I had a bite, it happened when I was asleep. woke next morning thinking also it was an ingrown hair a pimple... then it got hard, developed a hard lump underneath..all in just 2 days. I popped it and it ozzed black chit... I went to the Doctors and yesser I was bittin by a Brown Recluse... I had 2 options... a chitload of antibiotics or have half of my inner thigh cut out... I went for the antibiotics...3 weeks and finally it worked. I still have a black spot of dead skin and muscle on my thigh....
When in doubt seek medical attention!!!
Spider bites don't play nicely.
Get help soon as possible!!!!

Well still not effects from the bite. It isn't even intching now. Its still in the same shape as it was yesterday. I had a my friend who is an insect fanatic and a Doctor to drian the area with a small needle. He said it was an odd bite and could be a brown locuse or some sort of jumping spider. He is betting on the jumping spider since it wasn't much fluid in the bite. I'm going to keep a close eye on it today while I'm going to a couple of Chirstmas Dinners. And when I get back he wants to check it out better. He said there no use of going to the Hospital since if it gets worse he has everything down at the clinic to treat it. Its always good having a Doctor as a friend.:D Well I'm of to eat some good ole Christmas Ham, Hope everyone has a great Holiday. And try not to eat to much :aok

take a couple of bullets.
open them, spray gunpowder over affected area.
take match. light it.
ignite gunpowder.
If it worked for rambo it can work for you.
doctors, antibiotics... thats for puzzies
-
Well as long as there are no red streaks coming from it, you should be ok. Given that the wound doesn't continue to grow.

I had a daughter get bitten by a Brown Recluse. Due to her being so "light" (under 80lbs IIRC) it spread throughout her lymphatic system w/ the "red streaks" as you said. That will "only" happen though if you under 80lbs. With some anit-biotics she was eventually ok after a week or so. We had a vacations scheduled roughly a week after the bite, and while on our trip the bite got infected, and the infections spread throughout her body in her lymphatic system and we ended up at the local hospital for three days while she fought it off.
Was VERY touch and go, and she ended up being ok in the end. If you seek medical attention soon 'nuff B/R bite is no big deal (if you weigh 'nuff it stays localized in the area of the bite) but the key is to stop it A.S.A.P.
After what happened to my daughter, I have a "bit" o' experiende w/ B/R bites and what all can happen.

You are almost descibing to a "T" the initial manifestations of shingles, the exception is no soreness aroud the site. I would have a Physician look at this if you haven't already. Good luck, and I hope everthing turns out well...

wife got bit by a recluse on her boob. It turned red and flaky, but didnt blossom intot a full blown necrosis nightmare.
Anyway, I think you are out of the brown recluse zone.

We have lots of black widows here but the good thing about them is that they stay in their web. You are not likely to get bit by a black widow unless you get into it's web.
The bad thing about the brown recluse is that it likes to hide in boxes, clothes and other crap that humans use.
The black widow has got to be the most evil, creepy looking spider on earth. I get chills thinking about those fuggin things.
