That sounds a lot like a brown recluse bite. Definitely see the doctor about it. Left unattended, they can kill you from blood poisoning and result in severe scarring.
I hope that it's something less severe. Good luck.

It could be a wasp sting. When I got stung a few weeks ago, mine got really swollen and red and was warm to the touch. It also hurt alot for a few days. It didnt get filled with pus though. Maybe it is infected.

The top contenders in the USA are:
Spider, Horse Fly, Sandfly
In that order.
The top contender among Spiders is Brown Recluse bite.
If that is the case go to your health care provider for treatment, it gets worse without it.

Sounds like an infected bite. See a doctor and get some antibiotics.
It could have been a mosquito bite that got infected.
Other possibilities are ants and spiders.
