give this time To heal with the medication. once it is healed the dead flesh will come to the surface and be easy to remove.

I have had a friend that required quite a bit of care in the hospital for a brown recluse. The wound eventually ended up needing plastic surgery. Although many bites don't require any more attention than you are giving your wound, be aware of what to watch for to seek further treatment. Not to scare you, but it is not something to play with. Below is a website to check out.
