My 20 month old DD was bitten on her forehead while we were in Spain 2 weeks ago. There are two dots roughly 3mm wide placed about 1cm apart. They look like tiny yet perfect fang marks! A quick Google and it could be a spider bite.
She has had absolutely no reaction. No itching, no pain and basically she's completely oblivious. The dots have not swollen or come to a head of any kind. But they are still there, unchanging, almost goading me with their presence.
Did the spider lay eggs in her forehead?
Would talking to a GP be a wasteful, stupidly inappropriate thing to do? A few people have looked at them worryingly and suggested I get it checked out. But I can't bring myself to see a GP about 2 red dots that despite being there for 2 weeks, don't seem to be bothering her at all.
But on the other hand.... What if a spider actually laid eggs in her?? Part of me (the catastrophizing part) is now bringing to wonder why the bite hasn't faded yet.
Someone reason this through logically for me!!
