Cutaneous abscess: This sounds like indeed it could be a small localized infection - whether it started as a spider bite or something else. Definitely I would show it to a doctor - since you want to get it treated and minimize any chance for scarring. If you upload a photo, a Health Tap doc could take a good guess at it. You might need antibiotics if it's bad. I would call your primary doc today to be seen.
