Spider bite or zit on leg?!
Question: Spider bite or zit on leg!?
I woke up this morning to find myself scratching an itchy/hurting spot on my calf and it popped like a zit, with clear pus coming out!. It looks exactly like a zit one might find on their face!.
After a shower later, I found yet another of these on the underside of my thigh, but I haven't touched it!.
There are workers working outside my window, and I believe they've been knocking spiders into the house with all the hammering because I've found like six of those large common brown house spiders!. So could it be spider bites!?

Answers:
Spiders will generally leave "tear" or "teeth" marks when you get a bite (depending on their size)!. Could be mosquito or flea!? (Flea bites are notorious for looking like zits, and they can sometimes burn as well as itch)!. If it doesn't hurt or itch, leave it alone and see how it progresses!. If you get numerous ones on your body, you should see a dermatologist (and make sure your animals, if you have any, don't have fleas)!. LIke I said, spiders will generally leave bite marks or tear marks on the flesh!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The pus makes me think it is an ingrown leg hair - this happens after hair removal such as shaving - it can be gross but it is not dangerous!. Ingrown hairs behave a lot like zits - and they are very common!.
Exfoliating after shaving can help prevent them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
