My boss is in the hospital after multiple bites over a few weeks. She has been on steriods & antibiotics. The building was treated but bites continued. Now she has blood clots. I had 2 bites initially they are healing then on Tuesday noticed this one but no allergic reaction like she has had. I refused to go to the doctor as mine seemed minor. No one knows what is biting us. I may need to get it checked out as the swelling is much worse this AM. Oddly, the swelling seems worse in the evening & improved during the day for the last couple of days. I have never known of any kind of bite doing that. The bite is right on my middle knuckle. Guess I should have it checked out huh? But I HATE being on steriods as I know that is what they will do. Steriods make me so very jittery I can hardly stand it. But I suppose if there is risk to my hand, worth it. We shall see.

Wow Ruby, ants or spiders? Careful with that! I'm severely alergic to ant bite but you can see and feel those.

I been nailed by something unseen a couple of times, but suspect it was a spider based on the mark. I successfully self treated one such bite on my leg above my knee (muscle, fat, good blood supply) with peroxide, bacitracin and LOTS of Calidryl.

Around a knuckle ar some place where it'skin over bone is tougher to self treat.

Your company needs to bring an exterminator back in.
