What kind of treatment can I use for spider bite that I have scratched at and now has blistered with a crater like hole in it.
I know TMI!
Sorry, but need help.

See your doctor. It may have gotten infected, and with all of the virulent skin infections going around like MRSA (staff infection) I would have it checked out.

Crater like hole is telling me that was a poisonous spider bite. It needs to be seen by a physician. It also needs to be covered at all times right now. In the meantime, clean with mild soap and water and apply Bacitracin ointment and then cover with a sterile dressing. Your doc will probably need to prescribe some antibiotics.

go to the doc, especially if the bite also has a red "ring" area around it.
