Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen the image attached. The area of skin is irregular and aggressive looking. This is not just a spider bite. You need to attend an ER as soon as possible. Proper investigations are needed to find the cause. You can consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
