This happened like 4 years ago but im just curious to what it was and what i should have done.

Well i had this bite on my arm and i didnt know what it was from but it was painful and itchy and red. The next few days it swelled up about as big as a cellphone and turned into a blackish purplish colour, and it was like amazingly painful. If it got poked it was like agonizing, my eyes would tear up. And it was huge! i didnt see doctor or anything, but i probably should have. It went away gradually but i still have a scar even now. Do you know what kind of spider it could have been ( I live on Vancouver Island btw) and what should i have done to treat it
