wound care yes but you need to see a md for possible antibiotic treatment
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!
