Ice cube, cold washcloth, baking soda, or hydrocortizone.. if you think it was poisonise then go seek medical treatment.  Or if it worsens to seek medical treatment.

you should be scared. the hobo spider (the agressive house spider) named after how it gets from city to city (by train) most of their bites are dry (no poison) and look no worse than a normal bug bite. But with poison by the next day it will burst open and create a ulcer at the site. if you fear you have been biten go straight to the hospital.

Pour some peroxide on it to clean it out and then cover it.  Putting a bit of neosporin on it may also help a bit.  But if it is really bad you should probably see a doctor in case you need stitches.

Just put cold water on and then apply some butter. The same as you would do today to relieve immediate pain.

I'd be careful with the "Common hosehold spider" mentality.  I don't know how many people, including family, that have sworn that a spider was a common one, when in fact, it turned out to be a brown recluse. I've scared them into being more careful and never handling them. Any kind of bite should be checked out by a doctor. Many bites start out seemingly mild, and then worsen with time. A truly common house spider bite would cause different reactions in different individuals-some more extreme than others. Generally, a non-poisonous spider bite would cause redness around the area, the area would become hard and usually warm to the touch, possibly a blister formation around the bite area, and possible swelling in the local area, it also may itch or hurt..or both.

Don't panic\nHere's what I suggest you do.\n Grasp the trap's wooden base firmly. Have that grasp the whole of the wooden bottom from the underside. Now use your other hand (dominant hand), grasp the wire firmly and across a substantial length of it. \nGently but firmly pull the wire away from the wooden bottom. A little movement of the wire should be enough to free your lip.\nPut the trap down and now attend to your lip. Is it cut and bleeding? If it is the bleeding should be stopped first. Keep your head in a upward-looking attitude (you look toward the ceiling). Having the cut facing upward slows down blood flow, because the body uses more energy to pump uphill.\nDo not touch the cut. Allow the clotting sequence to start. After about five minutes or after bleeding has stopped get a tissue and wet it very thoroughly with water and a little fresh hydrogen pyroxide. (old peroxide loses its antiseptic activity).\nPat the cut area very gently to get some of the disinfecting liquid on the cut. It only needs a little, applied several times. Do not apply any pressure on the cut, or the clot will break and bleeding will recomence.\nMore likely, the skin has not been cut (breached). If that is the case, you should attend to swelling. Get An ice cube, place it into a small plastic bag and usae a twist tie.Wrap a thin handkercjief around the ice. Apply it to the lip trauma area. Cooling the area will reduce the swelling or inhibit some of the swelling from happening.\nIf the area gets uncomfortably cold remove the ice and allow the area to warm up. You may reapply the ice \nAlso, take a painkiller (analgesic), like aspirin. It will help you to avoid a tension headache. Also, an antihistamine will help to reduce some of the swelling.\nPlease ignore the cruel comments that have been posted. Most people care about others. Many more than those that are callous and cruel.\nAll of us have done some silly things in our lives. Some people are afraid to admit it.\nBest of luck,\nDan the Answers-Man.

A friend had one on her leg, and could barely walk. She thought it was a spider bite or something. She said it was very painful. But they just numbed it, cut and drained it, and gave her some antibiotics.

Put on antibiotic ointment, cover with a bandaid.  At night, take the bandaid off & let it get air.  In the morning, put on more antibiotic ointment & cover with bandaid, again.  Do this for a few days.  It should heal by then.

Neosporin.\n\nAnd make sure you're not moving the skin around it - you could be ripping it open again again while it's trying to heal.

it could just be a spider bite, or another insect bite. i would get it checked out though. make sure you clean it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on it for the time being. and if you can get any OTC medicine that could help with bites that would be good. also its different in every part of the country and the world. so what might affect some people doesnt effect others. like it could be a scorpion bite. but it all depends on where you live. it may just be a rash though too. but i think its an insect bite.

I have heard of only two poisonous spiders that live in homes.  Black widows which unless you have a serious allergic reaction to venoms, are the lease harmful.  But from the sound of it, u could have been bitten by a brown recluse which is very deadly.  These bite will not get better.  The venom will eat the surrounding tissue and eventually gangrene will set in and unfortunely ur limb is on the chopping block. :(  I would serious go to the ER and say look this could be a brown recluse bite and I need serious med attention.  I have pics from an email as a warning and what the bite looks like and the effect of that bite 9 days after it happen.  So u are welcome to email me and I'll be happy to send it to u for comparisons.  But I do agree with you your doctor should have done better.  He should have done a blood work or gotten tissue samples to determine the seriousness of the problem.  Return to the ER and be seen!!!

You can buy some vitamin E gel caps. Break 1 open every morning & evening & rub it into the bite. This should help.\nAlso swallow 1 of the gel caps daily until healed.

Wash the area thoroughly, put on some neosporin and a bandaid. Take a benedryl (will help with itching, burning and mild allergic symptoms).\nWatch the area carefully for signs of changes such as lots of swelling, red rings, puss, smell, etc. \nThe bite will *probably* be gone by tomorrow, but if it does exhibit venom symptoms, see a doctor.

Try to find a shoe which fits you perfectly orthere are shops which  make shoes by order, first they will measure your feet and then make one. if the shoes won't fit you then don't use them because the bites may get infectious , later may cause some fungal diseases\n       \nmeanwhile here is a household tip apply some vaseline or petrolium jelly inside your shoe where it bites.\n\n     or)  apply the white rind of a ripe banana (peel) to your shoe (inside)leave it overnight this will dafinately helps.
