Cellulitis?: If it is red, hot, tender to touch and getting worse you need to see a doctor as it could be an infection and you need antibiotics. If it is getting better in its own could just be a local reaction to the bite and you could watch and wait at home.

Ok, Bites?: Some spider bites are not painful, but can leave the marks and issues you described. If they don't heal over time on their own, see your Doctor for an evaluation to be safe, best wishes.
