I think i have been biten by a brown recluse. i have a large lump on my shin thats painful and hot to the touch. its swelling and very painful.?

Spider bite: There is a good chance that a brown recluse did this. Other possibilities are a abscess. A brown recluse causes a necrosis in the center of the bite that destroys the tissue from his poison bite. See a doctor for therapy.
