Had an extremely large red swollen bump that formed a whitehead. i drained it for relief. thick whitish blood came out. is it a brown recluse bite?

Skin abscess: You are describing a typical boil or abscess, which is usually caused by a bacterial infection. The best treatment is drainage, so you are on hype right track. Warm compresses help.
