most helpful answer go see md asap. my son had what we thought was a spider bite on his leg. it did the same thing got very red and painful. it ended up being mrsa. had to get my son on antibiotics fast. warm compresses will bring the puss up to the surface but the puss is very contagious. mrsa is very common now but can be fatal. don't wait. better to be safe than sorry!
spider bite on the ankle has become infected deep red hot to the touch. what wound care is recommended? . infection after a bite from either a spider or mosquito. i must have broken open the skin when it began itching almost (4) days ago. i woke up last night to a very swollen right ankle now entire foot. wound has closed up but site is deep red in color hot to the touch and getting more painful w/ any pressure applied. cold compresses are not working. how do you know if it's puss building up? how can i safely remove the puss? no insurance so need at-home skin infection remedies!
