Yes it sounds like a spider bite. But it sounds like a pretty nasty one. Whenever an area gets hot, it means that there is an active infection or inflammation going on. I would either go to the emergency or go to a walk in clinic, or something and get that checked.Health Question & Answer
In emergency medicine, there's a joke that a patient complaining about a spider bite excludes spider bite as the diagnosis. It's nearly true. You have a localized infection not caused by a spider bite.Health Question & Answer
It could be a spider bite or something else causing an infection. PLEASE go get it treated NOW - or you can be in very very serious trouble. You could lose your leg or worse if it is left untreated.Health Question & Answer
