My mom one day found out that she had a little itchy thing in her body. It was red, and bulgy, and it started spreading. She tried many medications, but there was no effect...... It started spreading really fast and after a few days, it was all over that part of the body.... Help?

It seems that she has hives. If over the counter meds didn't work then she needs to go to the DR. Steroids are commonly prescribed to alleviate hives. If a person is allergic to them then other meds are precribed. Better go ASAP because it can get worse.

That sounds like hives. That means Benedryl. If benedryl 50 mg/4 hours doesn't help, she needs to see a doctor. If her throat feels funny, or her tongue seems to be swelling, dial 911. She may need a shot of steroid to calm the reaction down.

It's better not to self medicate any more especially if she has tried several medications. Seek the help of a doctor.

It could be a spider bite, that's what it sounds like, or an allergic reaction (Possibly to the spider) Check with the doctor.
