I was bit by a spider on the inside of my right thigh, prescribed bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for a week, it is healing but still has a yellowish spot, will it open again?

Staph Infection: If you still have evidence of abscess or pus as you describe you should continue on the antibiotic.

Infection: I would not worry about that if the lesion is healing. It's most likely the pus that is drying up. It will turn into a crust and will eventually fall off.
