Spider bite: It should heal by itself. It won't hurt if you see your doctor to make sure bite is not infected.

No. But is he okay?: In the natural course of a severe bite a stage might occur where he discharges bloody fluid. If he has no fever and is doing well otherwise a period of observation with dressings is indicated. If he has fever he should see a doctor.
