Well, thanks. She said that there's no sign it's infected - the skin never was broken, it's not hot, S doesn't have a fever, so that's good I guess. She measured it and said to come back if it changes at all or starts bothering him. I don't know. It might be slightly less raised today so I'm going to give it until Friday unless it gets worse. Then we'll either head back to the pediatrician and hope we see a different doctor, or go to the dermatologist my parents see. Thanks for asking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2053153 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:15:40 +0000 ladybee 2053153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: update? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049827 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:08:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 2049827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: Hope your doctor gets some piece of mind tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049814 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:59:06 +0000 Chuckles 2049814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not warm to the touch, which makes me think maybe it's not infected, but you're right, the lines are concerning. We have an appointment for 7:30am. @mrsrccar: yeah, urgent care is the worst </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049810 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:54:42 +0000 MrsRcCar 2049810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just wait til morning and call the doctor. Unless it is bothering them, urgent care is all germy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049803 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:48:27 +0000 blackbird 2049803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049797 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:41:26 +0000 Chuckles 2049797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I forgot that our office has early hours appointments, so I'm going to try to take him in first thing in the morning. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049793 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:36:21 +0000 blackbird 2049793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: personally, I would try an urgent care or have DH take her tomorrow. I agree its probably infected </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049792 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:31:08 +0000 Chuckles 2049792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: and @ladybee: Thanks for making me feel less silly. I was noticing the lines, too.<br /> I will give the doctor a call in the morning. I'm supposed to work all day tomorrow, but could take him in on Tuesday. Do you think it matters if I wait an extra day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049786 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:25:44 +0000 ladybee 2049786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe one that's infected? I'd see our pediatrician. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049784 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:23:49 +0000 blackbird 2049784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lines coming out of it would make me go see a dr... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-look-like-a-spider-bite#post-2049777 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:11:13 +0000 Chuckles 2049777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has had this red bump/mark on his face going on maybe 5 days or so. I actually think it might be slightly worse than it was when I first noticed it. Do you think it's a spider bite? It doesn't seem to bother him at all, even if I press on it. If it doesn't seem better in the next few days, or is definitely getting worse, I guess I'll call his pediatrician, but I feel a little silly. Any thoughts? Thanks! Oh, and try not to notice the gross amount of ear wax he's got going on in the photos :) </p> [attach=5238/15/nj48ep.600x400.IMG_1848.JPG]
