Spiders under your skin?
My bf has a huge bump red spot that is swelled n hurts and the doctors told him it was just a spider bite which it very well could be. Weird thing is thou it has disappeared n reappeared in multiple spots like it's traveling??? Could a spider be under his skin or logical explanation for this??? It started out in his cheek below his eye, then above his eye, then one side on hair line of his forehead n now within the night it is now on the other side of his forehead just as bad!? Makes no sense!
Update:This has been going on for at least 4 days now so I don't think it wold be multiple bites from the outside it could be but then why would the first mark be gone n then a new one.appears.somewhere else you know what I mean

First, this injury sounds nothing at all like a genuine spider bite. Doctors are prohibited from telling patience they have any injury that has not been confirmed.(IE: it might be ?????)
In 1999, the AMA established a regulation that to conclude the possibility of a spider bite, the patient must 1) provide the doctor with the culprit spider for identification purposes, 2) obtain results of a 'LISSA' test for the presence of spider venom.
The reason behind this, is doctors get less than 1 hour of training with venomous arthropod stings and bites.
I might suggest your BF have this examined by a dermatologist, this sounds like a potentially serious skin infection.
I might also point out that no spider can live under human skin. (that only happens in movies)
Is it possible that he was bitten again from the OUTSIDE? Perhaps even by a different spider?
Edit: the first one is gone because it healed. New one appeared because its a new bite.
I think you should just listen to the real doctor, because hes more qualified than anyone on yahoo answers.
I'd call a doctor, defiantly doesn't sounds like a bug bite 0_0
