Something bit me on my finger about 3 to 4 weeks ago ...

Sent to Health Experts March 03 10:48 AM

Something bit me on my finger about 3 to 4 weeks ago and it is still sore when I bend it. It seems to get stiffer at night for some reason. I also have a bump that appears to be inside closer to the bone.   I can see the small dot where the insect, spider, etc... bit me so I do know that it was a bite. What can I do and can you tell me what could have possibly bit me?

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 37

Already Tried:
anticeptics and my finger turns white if I put a bandage on it.

Reply to CYNTHIA's Post: I live in Allen, TX. (right outside of Dallas). I have not seen a Doctor yet. My finger is not red but does turn white around the nuckle are (which is where I was bit) if I put something on it and cover it with a bandage.

Thank you,
