it doesn't look like it from my view but i might be wrong. usually with any spider bite i have gotten i could see two small pin holes close together where the sider bites u.. if u dont see that it might not be one. but i could still be wrong. if its hot then thats also a good (as good as good can be ha) sign that it is one
It looks like the begining stages of Staph or MRSA. Do you feel sick also???
I got a spider bite last week, and it looked just like that, but mine itched, at first I thought it was a mosquito bite but a friend of mine insisted that it's too cold for mosquito's right now, and that it had to be a spider bite, but I didn't want to believe him, until I got a magnifying glass and took a good look at it, and sure enough it was two little holes, then the sucker moved up a tad and bit me again, so I had two holes here and two holes a little higher, then two day's later I went to bed and unusually didn't knock out at the second my head hit my pillow and guess what happened? I felt something crawling on the same arm, so I turned on the light and sure enough it was a little black spider, so I killed it, I could bet that it was the same spider too.
It's not likely to be a spider- only one hole, right? But it definitely looks like a bite, at least from what I can tell on a photo. Have you been in the bush or woods lately? or been around any animals? If so, it might be a tick bite. Be very aware of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease. don't freak out, but do a little web research.
Good luck!
