• Is it a spider bite?

So I have four little dots, it was just two at first but now I see four. They kinda hurt but it itches more than they hurt; is there any way it is a spider bite?

Spider bites tend to be one hole and get deep and black in the center with a red ring. There is no exact way to tell what bit you unless you saw it.

Very doubtful spider bite most likely isolated contact dermatitis

If you have small itchy dots it's difficult to tell what kind of insect is responsible. Spider bites do tend to be painful though.

Spider came back to bite you at same spot? Not sure if spider has two teeth; got to talk to a vet but you better go see a derm.

Possibly bites. No way to tell if it was a spider. If getting better over time, I would just monitor it for worsening.

Spider bites are not small dats. They are red areas that become black.

That is what a brown recluse bite looks like.

Black widow bites cause paralysis and other neotologicL symptoms.

These are the reactions to known spider bites
