Go to the doctor ASAP. If you were bitten by a spider, you could modify up with death of the tissue, which means that the paper dies. Do not wait to hit it looked at! If it is actually a programme bite, it's important to hit it aerated immediately to reduce possibleness paper damage. Here is a unification with content on programme bites. I'm also including a unification of pictures of brown recluse programme bites. This is NOT to essay to scare you, exclusive to let you undergo how earnest they crapper be if not treated. What you hit may not be a programme bite, but since you're having swelling, stiffness, and redness, it's meliorate to be safe than sorry. Good luck! http://www.health.uab.edu/14973/ http://www.emedicinehealth.com/spider_bite_brown_recluse_spider_bite/page11_em.htm

You should get it checked discover right away. Especially since you've been taking benedryl the whole time. My son has been allergic to whatever type of fault ache (including mosquito's) since he was born (he's now 12). I was allergic also as a female and have grown discover of most of them but still allergic to some. Anyway, the prizewinning thing over the years has been to take benedryl. When they are more nonindulgent the benedryl helps but doesn't kibosh the reaction. We also utilised Claritin but it crapper make you hyper or sleepy depending on your system (benedryl too). For whatever comfort you crapper put ice on it and it should bring downbound whatever of the swelling. Ofcourse there's always things same mineral lotion, fault ache creams, etc. that crapper help with itching. You crapper try putting whatever baking salt on a slightly break rag (it holds the powder together) and hold it on your finger, it crapper help take absent whatever of the modify but commonly works prizewinning right after the ache (the harm is probably closed now). But your definitely having a reaction. And it seems its getting worsened and not meliorate which means your rattling allergic but not deathly. However, if it continues it crapper get bad. If it is red and the symptom grows downbound your digit and into your assistance then your having a nonindulgent activity that without communication crapper distribute to your heart and be fatal. So patch right now its in the early stages and your ok, you don't want it to get worsened so go get treatment. Also, you never undergo what taste you, it could be a malicious programme that crapper cause you to lose activity in your digit (from nerve damage) or worsened if not treated. I'm not trying to scare you or over move but its always prizewinning to get it checked discover and find that its null or something small then not to and find discover its a tic with lyme disease or worse. And it does hap (my 18 yrs old cousin was taste patch unerect in her building and got lyme disease and hospitalized for a week). So its meliorate to be innocuous than sorry. I apologize for composition so much but I desired to hold my answer so you undergo I'm not just guessing. Good luck!

You have probably got the finger infected. Go and see your doctor, he will probably provide you some cream and then the symptom should go downbound within a few days.
