Possibly but no pic: I'm not able to locate pics or links to look at, however, if there's no pain and the area doesn't look weeping, red or inflamed, angry in any way, bleeding, exuding puss, blackened or gangrenous borders, and it's not growing larger or appearing to "track" up your limb or belly, or face, etc. Then, keep it nice and clean a few times daily and keep an eye out. If things go south then, you go to doc.

Spider bite: Most of the so-called spider bites we see today are not really spider bites. Most of them are MRSA infections. If not getting better or getting worse, you should see a doctor.
