Carbuncle: Probably an infected skin follicle which we call a carbuncle. It is in a moist area under the bra , May need to see a physician for antibiotics. If not resolved on antibiotics the core needs to be taken out by a surgeon. But first need to see a doctor to get a actual diagnosis. Spiders bite not likely.
