Spider bite could be a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks fly the query.
I have gone the photograph.

Spider bite is a possibility. We can not confirm the type of the organism by looking at the bite marks. However, is unlikely a poisonous organism. Black widow spider bite is extremely painful and other fractures of systemic symptoms will be there.

In most cases, it will settle by itself, Watch for an increase in the size of the inflammatory reaction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
