try a little baking soda & water mix together like a pase and apply to the bite. Also inexpensive at the drugstore is cortisone cream and that will help stop the itch also.

First of all see a doctor if the spider could have been poisonous. If not then use an anti-itch OTC medication. It also helps to apply an ice pack to alleviate the pain. Don't scratch it if you can possibly avoid it. I know it's tempting because it's so itchy...but then you scratch it and it BURNS! OUCH! Good Luck!

If you haven't already, have the doctor check it out. If it's not a poisonous spider, then I would try some anti-itch or pain cream to keep you from picking at it and making a scar.

You may want to check with a doctor. My son was bit awhile back by a spider and it became terrible looking before he told me about it. The doctor prescribed a pumped up version of bacitracin for it.

you can put activated charcoal powder on it. mix it with oil and put it on the pad part of a band aid and it will take out the poison and should stop the itching very soon. you can also put lavender essential oil on it as it is good for all skin problems.

I would try taking some Benadryl and putting some Calamine lotion on the bite topically and see if this helps.

What kind of spider? a dangerous one? get to the doc. If it was a harmless one then put some zinc on it.

Have you been to the doctor, they will give you some antibotics to help get the infection out.
