Hives or Spider bite?!


Question: Hives or Spider bite!?
I woke up early for school, took a shower, and when I got out the left side of my chin I was itching!. She gave me some cream!. After a few minutes bumps started forming looking kind of like hives!. My mom checked the internet and thought hive too!. I stayed home from school just in case!. My mom gave me some benedryl!. I fell asleep and and hour later all of it went away except two big dots (bumps) that look like a spider bite!. It does not itch since I took the benedyrl!.

My mom also told me to clean it up with soap and water and when I put water on it it stung and a put soap on it screamed so loud (I don't know how my mom didn't hear me) it stung so bad!. I quickly cleaned it off!. So now I'm wondering and my mom said she's taking me to the doc!. Can you give me an idea!. We really would like some help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sorry to hear about this!. I wouldn't pass up the doctor!. Nobody can really make a determination about what it is until you're seen!. Often times, we have to look at things very closely because especially with the skin, the largest organ on our bodies, it can be very sensitive!. I wouldn't soap it, or alcohol or anything!. It could be a spider or bug bite, but you could also be allergic to something!. If it resolves, okay, but if you wake up and it's worse the next morning!.!.!.keep the appointment if you or your family can afford it!.

This is actually a common type of hive caused by dry skin or irritation!. This happens to me a lot when i get out of the shower or even out of a swimming pool, and i recently found out you should NOT itch them! the way you know you have a spider bite is by checking to see if the bump is bigger than the size of a quarter!. I had a spider bite at camp, and it got almost as big as my fist!
So, i don't think you should worry about the bumps, just make sure you don't itch them!. Calamine Lotion is excellent on anything that itches, even dry skin!. some moisturizer might do some good, too!.
No need to worry!
hope this helped!
best of luck :) Www@Answer-Health@Com
