Can Rashes On Legs Be A Result Of Spider Bite?

My girlfriend has a spider or some kind of bite on her leg that is very red and swollen. It has become a huge rash that has spread up and down her leg and it fells very hard almost like muscle. I was just wondering if I should take in into urgent care or if there is some kind of cream that could help.
