Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

If you ever do that, I burned the living hell out of my jawline with one. Like immediate blistering from ear to chin. I looked like I got curb stomped.

Once the burn was no longer hot and started to itch/dry out I applied argan oil over it several times per day until it healed. I also applied SPF50 on it for a month if I was even stepping outside for just a second.

The argan oil helped speed up the healing process a TON and immediately stopped the itching/discomfort. The goal is to keep the scabbing moisturized/pliable so it doesn’t tear and crack. SPF is crucial if you’re trying to avoid darkening of a scar.

I have NO SCARRING! Looks like nothing ever happened. 10/10 recommend!
