Answer 1

You need to keep an eye on it to watch for infection.  Spider bites can get bad. Also, You need to make sure that it wasn't a tick.  I think you should see a doctor to be safe.

You know if it is getting infected if get gets red and hot.  If a sore developes or if pus comes out of it.  If the redness starts to spread, that is not good.

Are you having any other symptoms like nausea, headaches, or anything?  If so see a Dr asap.

Answer 2

Try making a compress using vinegar and baking soda.  Use about half a cup of baking soda and add vinegar until it forms a paste.  Use just enough to cover the bite.  Then wrap it tightly with a towel.  Change it out when it dries and reapply until all the paste is gone.  This will draw out the poison.  If it has 2 small holes in it, then it could be a spider bite, but I really couldn't say for sure.  If this doesn't help, you may need to see a doctor.  If it starts spreading up your arm or feels feverish, definitely see a doctor.

It could be that you are allergic to spider bites. I'm allergic to mosquito bites and they swell up very big on me. Go see a doctor just in case.
