I'm going to make this as direct and to the point as possible as to I'm about to pull my hair out due to the itching right now. This started a few months ago when I remember telling my husband " something bit ( on my calf) me but never saw the evidence of an insect or spider. It stung at first then turned red and hot and then swole up within 1 hr of feeling the "sting" and the itch is like nothing I've ever experienced in my 40 yrs. I assumed it was a brown recluse spider bite because of the way it looked. Black in the center and hard and got bigger. But after a week or so it started to settle down and then the same exact thing happened except on my arm near my elbow. The sting the bite appearance and everything to a t except location. Then as that one started to heal I received another on my pinky finger but this one hurts n swole up more. That one started to go away but before I could breathe I woke up two days ago and it's on my face, in my scalp, and oh my god it's itching is literally driving me insane!! I have no health insurance and no job so I don't want the er bill n don't know what to do but it's spreading into my eye I believe and even my throat is itching. Can anyone help?

    After reading a comment on this site apparently neem oil for skin problems and neem tablets orally are what was recommended. I don't think it's expensive. I reckon it's worth a try. Read about it on the internet.

    not a recluse bed bugs?

    did you walk in the woods?

    can you recall a location?

    perhaps a cortisone cream...calamine lotion for itch

    Hi Christina, I am completely baffled by your symptoms. It doesnt really sound like anything i have ever heard of. Did you check Web MD or google the syptoms? Im sorry. I wish i could give you better advice. Can you see if there is anything coming out of the spot?
