Take a small bottle, put it in a pot of boiling water. Heat it up real good .Put the opening of the bottle directly over the bite and hold it there making sure no air gets in. As the bottle cools down it will create a suction and draw all the poison out!! It works really good. Afterwards, put some type of antibiotic ointment on it, and if for some reason, it still itches and swells red, go see a doctor!

Sounds like a brown recluse to me. The article below and the link gives more information. Have it checked out immediately!
In the mature brown recluse spider as well as some other species of recluse spiders, the dark violin marking is well defined, with the neck of the violin pointing toward the bulbous abdomen. The abdomen is uniformly colored, although the coloration can range from light tan to dark brown, and is covered with numerous fine hairs that provide a velvety appearance. The long, thin, brown legs also are covered with fine hairs, but not spines. Adult brown recluse spiders have a leg span about the size of a quarter.
The bite of the brown recluse spider can result in a painful, deep wound that takes a long time to heal. Fatalities are extremely rare, but bites are most dangerous to young children, the elderly, and those in poor physical condition. When there is a severe reaction to the bite, the site can erupt into a "volcano lesion" (a hole in the flesh due to damaged, gangrenous tissue). The open wound may range from the size of an adult's thumbnail to the span of a hand. The dead tissue gradually sloughs away, exposing underlying tissues. The sunken, ulcerating sore may heal slowly up to 6 to 8 weeks. Full recovery may take several months and scarring may remain.

If it is red and swollen tomorrow morning, get yourself to a doctor. The bite could be serious. In the meantime, try a cortisone cream.
