i have a site where its similar to that on your finger... its not as beat red but it has two little holes just like that on my right hand... its very mildly puffy. I noticed it this evening after washing dishes i was wondering if mine was a bite too i used peroxide and paulmolive (forgive the spelling) anti bacterial dish soap to clean it... is it possible its a yellow sack spider? the apartment i live in seems to have them horribly.

That is so weird. I had something similar on my finger this summer. It started off like a small scratch and it itched and then swelled up and looked infected, though it only hurt mildly. I thought it was a splinter but never could get anything out of it, and yes, I'm a picker. Can't help it. It turned into a callous and then sloughed off and now it's completely gone. It wasn't that red though.
