red lumps caused by possible spider bites ? Posted: 03-13-08 16:43pm
About 3 or 4 days ago I woke up and
thought, oh great a breakout. There were 4
small red lumps on my nose sort of like
this. http:

They are on the right side of my face.
I didn't think much of it, just washed my
face as usual figuring they were just
pimples. The next day they got a little
bit more swollen and I noticed that on the
right side of my chin, under my jaw where
i believe one of the lymph nodes is
located felt sore and is still kind of
sore now. I didn't think much of it cuz i
figured it might be related to my sinus
problems. Yesterday I kept feeling light
headed. I slept for about 12 hours then
ate a big mac and a huge tea with lots of
sugar so i figured that was just my blood
pressure spiking because of such a large
meal and sleeping for so long. Well, today
the "pimples" are scabbing up and it looks
like my right eye is a little bit swollen
and also looks like i might be getting a
black eye. The area right now feels sore
and the "pimples" are firm. I have never
had any type of allergic reaction to ants
or any other kind of normal bugs. I don't
have insurance so I don't want to go to
the doctor right away because it would be
too expensive to go and have them send me
home with prescription zit medicine.
Should I be worried that this may be a
bite of some kind? Brown Recluse spiders
are common in my part of the country, I
live in Corpus Christi texas.
