Any chance something is biting him? It’s house spider season

I checked with the pharmacist who started talking about strep! Looked at his throat and said he’s got large tonsils but always has. Said his gland may be slightly raised one side. He’s had a sinus thing for a few days, basically snorting a lot as clearly he’s annoyed by it but nothing else and no temp. Said they looked like bites then started showing me pics of strep rash and repetitively telling me what to look for even though he has zero symptoms of this! Scared me tbh!
He has a tan on his legs then very white at the top and he was cold as had shorts on in the super market and then the pharmacist started saying ‘are his legs always like this?’ They were white and slightly purple mottled at the top but that’s because he’s cold and the rest of legs where tanned aren’t like that so he then panicked me about that too but they’re always like that… I think!

Son is totally ok in himself and itching these and the pharmacist said they wouldn’t be itching if it was strep!

All seemed a bit odd but I guess being over cautious!!
