I know we are not doctors, so not looking for diagnosis, just some advice. I woke up yesterday morning with a itchy, what looks like, bite on my stomach. I immediately worse case it by thinking its a brown recluse spider bite. It's red with a small pimple like center, like it could pop. Well I get on with my day trying to ignore it. I put benedryl on it and some antibacterial cream. Well later that evening there is what looks like a hive below it and now I'm freaking out. I let Benadryl sit on it and washed it off some hours later and it's still red with the pimple center but now there is a purplish hue around it too. My husband thinks its fine and doesn't think it looks like a target but I am completely in freak out mode. I wanted to go to urgent care but hubby wants me to calm down and not be so quick to go down this road again. can't sleep, I feel horrible and sick with waves of anxiety thinking this is Some Awful spider bite that will deaden my tissues and leave a gaping hole in my stomach. That is of course what I read on dr google! Sorry for being long winded! I'm so scared this purplish hue means something bad, or can you get that from a fading hive? Please help!
