Kevinsmilfx2`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll HELP! My daughter woke up 3 days ago with 3 big bite marks down her leg. Over the course of the last 3 days the bites have started to resemble burn marks and they`ve all blistered. Now today I`ve noticed that one of the blisters is purple/ black and REALLY hard... Is this normal for a spider bite in children since they`re immune systems are not built up yet????

i would just to be on the safe side! all it is is antibiotics that they will give her and maybe some cream for it!

I got bit by a spider as a teen on my leg. It looked like a mosquito bite at first and then began to swell like a blister. I got where I couldn`t move my leg. Finally one day I got out of the shower the puss came out and it was green and almost black. Not to scare you, I went to the Dr. and he said it was a spider bite but and it must of not been a real poisonous spider. I would get it checked.

No, no red lines coming from the bites, but she definitely has pain where the bites are. She pulls her leg away and says `Ouchie!` when I touch them... I think I`m going to call the doc now.

I would definitely call. Grace had a bite on her arm from a spider that last like 3 weeks, i called the doctor after two weeks and they wanted to see her. Luckily they weren`t too concerned but better safe then sorry.

Take her to the doctor!!!! From how you describe it, my daughter had the same thing on her side below her ribs. At first it looked like a pimple then got bigger and HARD and purplish. We took her in, basically what she ahs was some kind of infection passed on from someone else (daycare?)...I forgot what they called it. Anyway, they had to drain all the puss out before it entered her blood stream and she was on antibiotics. I didn`t think much of it, but the docs were pretty concerned. Take her in right away...it might be something completley different, don`t risk it thoough.

I have never heard of this before...I would call your Dr and ask if they should see her

i would def call the doc and ask! spider bites in kids and babies have to be watched soooo carefully because an infection can get in the blood stream very fast! are their any red lines coming from the bite? is it warm to the touch?

If no take them to the doctor I would call but they will probably want to see her.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
