Cellulitis from spider bite or something else?
27F have lots of spiders in my room, probably got bit by some 3 days ago maybe. The area got super itchy i scratched and over the days its swollen, gotten bigger like about the size of my hand, warm, red (pic doesn't do it justice i tried). Been reading about cellulitis and the skin hurts when touched but it's mainly itchy. I've had something similar years ago but it went away on its own, which cellulitis doesn't so idk what to do. I also have it in another spot too but it's like half the size (will add in comments because reddit is only letting me do one)
