Sometimes you can't tell the difference for sure, but typically if you are getting a rash associated with using a product, rather than just a rash from touching your skin, you likely have an allergy. Seeing an allergist is the best way to determine what is going on, and an allergist can also make recommendations about alternative products to use.

How do you know if the itchy bites all over your forearm are from a spider?

I don't think it could be from a spider bite. I think maybe you are allergic to something. You should think about what kind of products might make your skin have an allergic reaction to it. It could be you used a towel that had a substance on it, like those laundry fresh sheets that you use when you put the towels in the dryer. You have to always take into consideration how sensitive skin is

Your dog's face swelled up yesterday and had welts all over its body?

Very likely your dog had an allergic reaction to something -- new food, bee sting, spider bite, etc. If you know what caused the reaction, try to keep the dog from coming into contact with it again. Allergic reactions often become worse each time the animal is exposed to the allergen. A serious allergic reaction can result in death.
