that is a spider bite and probably a brown recluse. go to a doc as soon as you can.
 
The FNP couldn't tell what it was, but she screamed when she saw it. I told her that doctors weren't supposed to scream. She poked it with a needle and got some stuff out to do a culture. She thinks it was a minor bite that has gotten staph. Great! I got a shot and some antibiotics. About to take a hot bath followed by a nap. :(
 
are we sure it's a bite and not a boil? But have it checked out in any case.
