Doctor. If need be he'll refer you to a dermatologist.

Family doctor, if they can't treat it, they'll refer you to a dermatologist.

for a mild reaction just see a regular MD - if you have a nasty very involved reation I would see a dermatologist becasue they are more sensitive to scaring issues - T

well if it was not a recluse or a widow, dont go anywhere. just send me the 1000 dollars you would have just wasted on a doctor bill

family dermatologist

a family doctor should be able to treat your spider bites efficiently-most of the time it just requires oral antibiotics and some benadryl or hydrocortisone cream

dermatologists are considered a specialty doctor and most insurance companies will require a referral from your primary doctor before you can go see one.
