Re: My Hubby's Leg (possible Spider Bite?)
Very possibly it is MRSA and you need to see a DR. MRSA starts out feeling like a bite and then progresses to that. I have had it twice now and it does not usually go away on its own. I still remember both infections. The first was after dirt bike riding with my girlfriend. I was on my bike and felt what I thought was a bite. We got back to the cabin and she looked at it and it looked like a zit and then it got worse over the next 3 days and was bigger than that. Dr gave me bactrim for 10 days and pain killers and it went away. It came back 3 months later in two places. |

One more thing if it is mrsa you need to use hibiclens for about a week every time he showers and there is a ointment called bactoban that you apply inside the nose twice a day otherwise it will probably be back in a month or two. Dr's missed it the first time. Also keep it covered as it can be transmitted.

He needs medical care for the wound as it will not heal itself. It's a rapid deterioation of flesh and the longer you wait the worse it will get.

I researched a lot after I was bit and found that a real aloe plant broken and put on the wound while taking antibiotics will help heal and not leave a scar.
