Is this a spider bite??

Question

I woke up this morning to this..it's painful and it oozes. Idk what to do, or what it is. It kind of looks like a spider bite? I can't go to a Dr, I don't have insurance.

These are Google images I found of spider bites

Answer

You need to go to the doctor. Whatever it is it’ll probably keep getting worse. Some people suggested a staph infection and even a spider bite that bad would need some sort of antibiotic. Try urgent care they’re cheaper

Answer

Where on the body is this and how large? I forgot to ask.

Answer

Go to an urgent care and ask for their self-pay rate. Most of them have a flat rate for people with no insurance. For example, if you have a Fast Pace Urgent Care near you, their rate is $100 no matter what they do for you.

Answer

It looks a bit like ringworm which is a harmless fungus. Is it itchy? Painful? Barely causing any feeling? Were you in a position where you could have been bit by a spider?

Answer

So my mil had a very bad and scary incident involving skin necrosis (caused by numerous factors including why people are so afraid of spider bits). The urgent Care we took her to told us to look out for a red ring of skin around the wound. If you see one, draw a ring in marker. Then in two days if the redness pushes rather outside marks, go to the doctor immediately. She went and didn't have insurance (they are from out of the country), and her total urgent care was maybe $200. Plus whatever antibiotics you need.
