<<I've had spider bites do that. Is it hot as well as itchy?>>
Not really. Also, it didn't get itchy until it went from an amorphous red
rash to the well-defined ring. The cortisone/antifungal cream that I'm using
keeps the itching under control but the rash seems to be getting more red
and bumpy. Overall, I feel fine, except for the itch when the effects of the
cream wear off.
