"Infected spider bite"

About: St Mary's Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

I was bitten on my leg around a week ago by what we think was probably a spider. Within a week it was getting more swollen, painful and hot and the infection was spreading from the site of the bite.

I looked online at the NHS 111, answered some questions and it said to go to my local minor injuries clinic. I went along to the UTC department at St Mary’s in Newport and the receptionist, nurse and Dr were all friendly, efficient and sorted me out with antibiotics very quickly.

Thank you
