i was just wondering...what does a spider bite look like? The other day I had this reddish looking thing on my chest...and now two red dots in a row on my pinky. Are these spider bites!??!

I went on vacation last week, and I had to sleep in the floor at one hotel, and I got bitten by a spider. At first I didn't know it was a spider bite - I thought it was like a clogged pore. It had like a "head" on it and was REALLY painful. It didn't itch at all. The next night when I was changing out of my jeans, I accidentally scrubbed all the skin off of the "head," thus popping it. By this time, it was swolen and purple! I know it was a spider bite because of this. It didn't ever itch at all. But it hurt and was swolen, and purple. Now I just have a little scab as a reminder of where it was. No big deal.
