well you can put some benidril on it the cream lotion kind and then it may burn but it doesn't matter. because you just want to get rid of it rite?! and don't touch well with your bare finger because you could infect it and give it more germs then it has.

Use antiboiotics like niosporin or poroxide to clean it out. If it is seriously infected you may want to go to the doctor and get professonal help. It will hurt if you use poroxide and it will fizz. Another thing that you can use is alchol but that will hurt way more that poroxide. But it will clean it out more. You also will want to get the pus out of the wound by gently scrubing it with a wet cloth that is soft. Scrub in a circular motion not back and forth that will hurt more. if it does not heal with all that go to a doctor to get more powerful antibiotics to heal it.

Go see a doctor. Keep the wound clean and let air get to it (no tight bandages, band-aids or wet compresses). If you know what kind of spider bit you or can describe it well then tell the doctor.

No, unless it is bleeding. The only reason you cover a wound is to keep it from getting infected, and it's not going to get infected if the skin isn't punctured completely, which would result in bleeding.

Lance it, then be sure to clean the infected area. Or just go to a doctor. Lance it, then be sure to clean the infected area. Or just go to a doctor.

If you think you have a spider bite...you should still see a doctor. Recently people have been mistaking spider bites for a serious and possibly fatal MRSA infection.
