What kind of a bite/sting is this?!
Question: What kind of a bite/sting is this.?
I was outside cleaning spider webs off of my grandma's porch when I felt this sharp pain in my fore arm.. I slapped whatever was on my arm and went inside to look at the wound.. The bite/sting is white and raised with red around it.. I don't see an actual hole or place where the bug bit me and I didn't find a stinger.. I don't think it has to be a spider it could be a wasp or something.. What do you think it is.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Most likely a spider since you were cleaning spider webs, but impossible to tell without a picture.. As long as you aren't having a reaction to it you'll be fine.. Watch the bite/sting area for any changes and go to the ER if it changes and begins to get inflamed and spread..Health Question & Answer
Difficult to tell without seeing it, the whiteness with red around it is inflammation due to the bite.. As long as you're not in any continuing pain I suggest not worrying too much about it.. Apply a cool compress and the inflammation should go down by tomorrowHealth Question & Answer
