Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM.
This description appears to some insect bite.
It is difficult to comment whether it is spider bite or something else.
I would suggest you to visit ER , a physical examination would rule out the condition.
You would be given primary treatment. And antibiotics if you have cellulitis over there.
Good luck
