A spider bite will be a sore red bump with two tiny perforations next to each other in the center (two fangs). Most U.S. species spider bites go away with no problems. It sounds like you have an infected pore, hair follicle, cyst, etc. or infected bug bite. In either case, dress it using an antibiotic ointment and watch closely for signs of necrosis when changing the dressing. Necrosis is dying tissue in or around the infected area. That would mean either a serious infection or Brown Recluse bite. Both are highly unlikely.
