Why is my spider bite warm?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Skin infection: Probably because it's not a spider bite (they rarely are), but a bacterial infection of the skin. The warmth is a sign of inflammation and infection.

Agree with dr G.: It is likely cellulitis. You should see your doctor for treatment.
