Oh man!! It could easily be a spider bite! I had a spider bite under my arm, about 3/4 inches from my armpit (talk about hurt!) It started off just itching. Nothing there. I thought it was because I had swapped detergents. Then the next day, there were two tiny pimples. SO I popped them while I was scratching. It itched ohhh so bad!! THen the next day the 2 pimples merged into 1. By that time, my entire arm around it was blood red and hot with fever. The very next day, the entire bump was black and swelling more & more! WHen the pressure got sooo bad under the bump, I had no choice but to bust it. SO I got in the shower and ran hot water over it. I busted it and watched the black puss & blood run out. After that, it had scabbed. Or so I though. I had raised my sleeve over it to check it out, and it started leaking. So I put a bandaid on it and when I looked at it later, the entire scab (the size/depth of a pencil eraser was hanging on by a thread. So I had to just pull it out. Well I ended up with a hole that you could stick a cigarette butt half way into!!! My mom was like "go to the Dr!!!!" But I didn't...and now I have this huge scar under my arm where a spider got me!! Thank .god it wasn't a brown recluse, I'd have no arm!! I'm sorry you had to go through that pain, and I'm sure the antibiotics will help a lot!! Sarah

I had a spider bite on my left forearm that developed into .m.r.s.a, so it was resistant to antibiotics. i was hospitalized for a week. it was awful; they immobilized my arm so that in case it got infected .i wouldn't move the infected whatever all over my body. i learned later that they had to discuss removing that chunk of my forearm if it didn't respond to the iv drugs.

Spider bites... Shudders... It makes me cringe even thinking about a spider biting me on my inner thigh Little too close to the woohaa lol... That sucks though, .Sarah.. Yuck, I hate spiders.. Hopefully this antibiotic works because this thing is itching like crazy & it looks so disgusting after she drained it... There's even more stuff built up in it now .Michelle

I'm a serious arachnaphobe(sp?) I am seriously and insanly terrified of spiders. Now that I know what a bite can do, I'm 110% more scared. Sarah

I was bit by a spider once, but all it did was make my tricep swell up... it wasn't red, hot, painful, or anything. It was hard, not squishy... and then it just went away over night. It appeared in an hour, too, really fast!

i've had tons of spider bites but they've never been like the ones sarah and natalie are describing. mine always looked like gigantic misshapen mosquito bites. i never feel them bite me though so i'm always like "oh my god, what if it was crawling on me in my sleep? what if it's still in my bed?!"
