Spider bite or zit on leg? I woke up this morning to find myself scratching an itchy/hurting spot on my calf and it popped like a zit, with clear pus coming out. It looks exactly like a zit one might find on their face.
After a shower later, I found yet another of these on the underside of my thigh, but I haven%26#039;t touched it.

There are workers working outside my window, and I believe they%26#039;ve been knocking spiders into the house with all the hammering because I%26#039;ve found like six of those large common brown house spiders. So could it be spider bites?

What are they?

Best Answer

Spiders will generally leave %26quot;tear%26quot; or %26quot;teeth%26quot; marks when you get a bite (depending on their size). Could be mosquito or flea? (Flea bites are notorious for looking like zits, and they can sometimes burn as well as itch). If it doesn%26#039;t hurt or itch, leave it alone and see how it progresses. If you get numerous ones on your body, you should see a dermatologist (and make sure your animals, if you have any, don%26#039;t have fleas). LIke I said, spiders will generally leave bite marks or tear marks on the flesh. Personal Experience

  • The pus makes me think it is an ingrown leg hair - this happens after hair removal such as shaving - it can be gross but it is not dangerous. Ingrown hairs behave a lot like zits - and they are very common.

    Exfoliating after shaving can help prevent them.
  • Call a good dermatologist and make an appointment; people in this forum just can%26#039;t know everything. Do yourself a favor and make that appt.
  • If they are itching,then they are most likely spider bites. I%26#039;ve never heard of an itchy zit.(or some other type of sneaky pest,mosquito%26#039;s maybe?)
  • Just keep it clean and air it out. Don%26#039;tut a band-aid on it or it will get gross.
  • sounds like a spider bite but u should call ur doctor to make sure.
