question: I have had a small cut on my leg for a few weeks and now have poison ivy. The cut seems to have gotten very puffy and dark red with dark purple/blackish in the center. It is also showing signs of white pus. It is not painful and there is no smell associated with it but it seems to be getting worse. I have cleaned it with hydrogen proxide and anitbotic ointment for the past two days. Some one suggested it may be the bite of a brown recluse spider, but I have had the small hole type cut for several weeks already. Any insight would be great. thanks
