Get it checked: Purple discoloration is most likely a bruise (hemolyzed blood from the venom/bite). Whether it is of concern or not, only a doctor can tell. If it is extending, it means the injury is continuing. Tingling in the toes may be a sign of the nerve being affected, so better get it checked.

I would : Take an antihistamine apply ice to the region of the "bite", mand see a doctor asap, as you may require an oral antibiotic.
