My bites, all of which are on my legs, look like raised pink bumps. Some are raised round bumps about the size of a fingernail and some of them are irregular shaped and bigger.

The larger ones sound like spider bites. It's unusual to have more than one or two at a time. You might be reacting to mosquito, gnat, or flea bites. Take Benadryl according to directions and it will ease the swelling. I have arachnophobia. I tried to find pics for you to look at but they all have spider pics. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight. But at least you know you can google spider bites and get pics to compare to yours. Beware, I couldn't find a site w/o spider pics.

Both my sons and my husband have been spider bit. Theirs started off looking like an ant bite with the white head on it. It progressively got worse. Spider bites are nasty little buggers and usually leave a scar. I tended to my husband's bite, but took the boys to the doctor. He lanced the site and got the core out and put them on antibiotics. You really need to see a doctor if you suspect a spider bite.

may be a spider bite. get a pen and cirlce the bumps at the very edge where it begins to get red. if it grows bigger outside of the pen circle then go to the doctor for anti venom or anitbiotics.

The only spider bite I ever got had two distinct fang marks and it swelled to about a nickel in diameter. It was red and itchy.
