I got a spider bite about 4 days ago, on my ankle. it it still itchy, and my toes and calf have a slight ache. the bite itself is the size of a dime and drying out, it is not swollen. how long will this take to heal?

Are you sure it is a spider bite or insect bite is my speculation. There are spider bites that could be poisonous vs itchy mosquito bite. The healing time actually depends on things like how quickly your body is able to mount a response to contain whatever the insect injected and the white cells in the body respond appropriately. It heals faster if the drying out is not disturbed by a scratch.
