Ok. Yesterday morning I woke up with what had seemed to be a mosquito bite on my right forearm. Theres 2 places, one with that's about a few centimeters and the other one was about an inch long. I've put ice on it, etc... Today it's gotten bigger, it's now about 3 and a half inches long, 2 inches wide on my forearm, swollen. Would you guys know if it's a mosquito bite or a spider bite? Should I go to the doctor? It's red, itching, I haven't felt any pain though, no sickness.

3 inches long, 2 inches wide, Swollen, Iching... First some kind of anti irritant ointment then see a dermatologist if it isnt better in a day. As Far as I know mosquito and spider bites dont get that big.

that's what I was thinking. But then again I'm also thinkin if I should see a doctor and make sure that it's not anything poisonous, hence having it swell so much, i dunno.

Well as long as you dont start to feel sick or light headed 1 day shouldnt hurt.

also, I just noticed, on the smaller one, there are 2 bump heads, positioned parallel to eachother. similar to how a spider's fangs would be. the large one has just one bump head.
