Could be an infection with it spreading to the tissue=cellulitis. You'll need antibiotics.
Also could be MRSA=need antibiotics also. Many times when people think it's a spider bite, it's actually this infection.

Could be spider, could be bed bug. Did you notice this after wearing pants? If so turn that leg inside out, see if there is a small web or cacoon near the bite site. That would be my first guess.

sounds like a spider bite, try not to scratch it. Keep an eye on it, if it starts to get bigger or you have any other side affects you should see a doc immediately.

I guess it might be a spider bite, bur it could also be just a mosquito bite and you have an allergic response to it. If so see your doctor if it gets worse.

Could be a mosquito bite! But, cooler weather usually drives them away. If it gets worse go to the DR.....
