What kind of bug bite is this?

Question

I woke up with this bite yesterday morning and it was so itchy. What really concerns me are the red dots around it. It is also raised above the skin. Should I go have it checked or just wait it out. I really don't want to spend any money that I don't have to. Does anyone know what kind of but this might be and if it is serious or not? Thanks :-)

Answer

Could be a spider bite. It is really hard to say. At this point a doctor likely wouldn't do anything, but that's up to you. I would wait and see if it changes. If it gets bigger, becomes painful, or changes color then go to the doctor. If you've been digging around a basement or shed or another rarely visited area it could be a bite from a brown recluse spider in which case you'd need medical attention.

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it. If it were something poisonous it would look much worse by now.
