Anyone know anything about spider bites!!?

Dominique • Thrilled to be expecting our third child in March.
I have a huge bite on my right butt cheek. It has grown in size since yesterday. Painful and knotted. The bite resembles a nipple, my butt cheek looks like a huge boob! I have.. A buttboob haha. I'll go see a doc tomorrow for it but am a little worried since I'm 6 weeks preggo. Any advice would be much appreciated. Sorry for the buttboob pic! Ponytail holder for scale.

Haha I didn't read th e whole thing but I was trying to figure out where it was on your body and I was like it looks like your boob but that's the bite not the nipple. I later realized it was your butt and I laughed. Do you have any clue what kind of spider bit you?

Buttboob...bahaha! Seriously, though, draw a line around the outer edge with a pen. If the redness continues spreading, that's cause for concern. Also, if it's a spider bite, there's probably 2 small puncture holes near the center. Until you can get to the doctor, witch hazel can help soothe it. Good luck!

Yes definitely mark it like other ladies said and if it's recent, you may try a baking soda and water paste. Supposed to draw out poisons. Your dr should be able to help you more.

Trace it with a sharpie so you can see if it gets bigger. (Or have someone help you) That's an important reference when you go get it looked at. Definitely go get it checked out! Especially being pregnant. It doesn't look like a black widow or brown recluse bite  but I would still go to the hospital or get an appointment with your PCP.

Are you sure it's a spider bite, I can't tell 100% because my lighting in my phone is off, but it looks similar to a tick bite. Good luck at the doctors office.

This looks very similar to one I had when I was younger. Does it burn when you get it wet? That's what mine felt like. It was a harmless bite & my doctor gave me a cream to put on it & told me to keep it covered until it heals.
