How dangerous is my spider bite?

Question

a week ago i was at home and felt a piercing pain on my thigh (i was wearing tight jeans). It felt like a giant needle was inserted into me for like five whole seconds. when i pulled down my jeans I didn't see any insect, but there was definitely a a round red bite. imediatately there was this red area about an inch away from the bite and it started itching so bad. well its been a week, the bite itself seems to be healing but its still incredibly itchy around it, and on that area an inch away. what insect could have done this? is it dangerous?

Answer 1

If you're sure it's getting better/healing, then the danger is past, but if it is getting worse you should see a doctor soon. The itching may be part of the healing process. Try to put a topical pain killer on it like Lanacaine.  

Answer 2

The fact that your alive to ask this question tells me your bite is not serious.lol  Don't scratch it that will make it worse or even infected. Many insects could have bit you with those symptoms. Just put some antibacterial cream on it. Or dab a little rubbing alcohol on it to stop the itching.
